* Fix external memory for get column batches.
This fixes two bugs:
* Use PushCSC for get column batches.
* Don't remove the created temporary directory before finishing test.
* Check all pages.
* - 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
* Only define `gpu_id` and `n_gpus` in `LearnerTrainParam`
* Pass LearnerTrainParam through XGBoost vid factory method.
* Disable all GPU usage when GPU related parameters are not specified (fixes XGBoost choosing GPU over aggressively).
* Test learner train param io.
* Fix gpu pickling.
* Implement Transform class.
* Add tests for softmax.
* Use Transform in regression, softmax and hinge objectives, except for Cox.
* Mark old gpu objective functions deprecated.
* static_assert for softmax.
* Split up multi-gpu tests.
* DMatrix refactor 2
* Remove buffered rowset usage where possible
* Transition to c++11 style iterators for row access
* Transition column iterators to C++ 11
* Added finding quantiles on GPU.
- this includes datasets where weights are assigned to data rows
- as the quantiles found by the new algorithm are not the same
as those found by the old one, test thresholds in
tests/python-gpu/test_gpu_updaters.py have been adjusted.
* Adjustments and improved testing for finding quantiles on the GPU.
- added C++ tests for the DeviceSketch() function
- reduced one of the thresholds in test_gpu_updaters.py
- adjusted the cuts found by the find_cuts_k kernel
