* - training with external memory - part 2 of 2
- when external memory support is enabled, building of histogram indices are
done incrementally for every sparse page
- the entire set of input data is divided across multiple gpu's and the relative
row positions within each device is tracked when building the compressed histogram buffer
- this was tested using a mortgage dataset containing ~ 670m rows before 4xt4's could be
saturated
* - training with external memory part 1 of 2
- this pr focuses on computing the quantiles using multiple gpus on a
dataset that uses the external cache capabilities
- there will a follow-up pr soon after this that will support creation
of histogram indices on large dataset as well
- both of these changes are required to support training with external memory
- the sparse pages in dmatrix are taken in batches and the the cut matrices
are incrementally built
- also snuck in some (perf) changes related to sketches aggregation amongst multiple
features across multiple sparse page batches. instead of aggregating the summary
inside each device and merged later, it is aggregated in-place when the device
is working on different rows but the same feature
* - fix issues with training with external memory on cpu
- use the batch size to determine the correct number of rows in a batch
- use the right number of threads in omp parallalization if the batch size
is less than the default omp max threads (applicable for the last batch)
* - handle scenarios where last batch size is < available number of threads
- augment tests such that we can test all scenarios (batch size <, >, = number of threads)
* make the assignments of HostDeviceVector exception safe.
* storing a dummy GPUDistribution instance in HDV for CPU based code.
* change testxgboost binary location to build directory.
