* 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 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
* Upgrade gtest for clang-tidy.
* Use CMake to install GTest instead of mv.
* Don't enforce clang-tidy to return 0 due to errors in thrust.
* Add a small test for tidy itself.
* Reformat.
* Port elementwise metrics to GPU.
* All elementwise metrics are converted to static polymorphic.
* Create a reducer for metrics reduction.
* Remove const of Metric::Eval to accommodate CubMemory.
* Make C++ unit tests run and pass on Windows
* Fix logic for external memory. The letter ':' is part of drive letter,
so remove the drive letter before splitting on ':'.
* Cosmetic syntax changes to keep MSVC happy.
* Fix lint
* Add Windows guard
* Split building histogram into separated class.
* Extract `InitCompressedRow` definition.
* Basic tests for gpu-hist.
* Document the code more verbosely.
* Removed `HistCutUnit`.
* Removed some duplicated copies in `GPUHistMaker`.
* Implement LCG and use it in tests.
* 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.
* Replaced std::vector with HostDeviceVector in MetaInfo and SparsePage.
- added distributions to HostDeviceVector
- using HostDeviceVector for labels, weights and base margings in MetaInfo
- using HostDeviceVector for offset and data in SparsePage
- other necessary refactoring
* Added const version of HostDeviceVector API calls.
- const versions added to calls that can trigger data transfers, e.g. DevicePointer()
- updated the code that uses HostDeviceVector
- objective functions now accept const HostDeviceVector<bst_float>& for predictions
* Updated src/linear/updater_gpu_coordinate.cu.
* Added read-only state for HostDeviceVector sync.
- this means no copies are performed if both host and devices access
the HostDeviceVector read-only
* Fixed linter and test errors.
- updated the lz4 plugin
- added ConstDeviceSpan to HostDeviceVector
- using device % dh::NVisibleDevices() for the physical device number,
e.g. in calls to cudaSetDevice()
* Fixed explicit template instantiation errors for HostDeviceVector.
- replaced HostDeviceVector<unsigned int> with HostDeviceVector<int>
* Fixed HostDeviceVector tests that require multiple GPUs.
- added a mock set device handler; when set, it is called instead of cudaSetDevice()
* Use sparse page as singular CSR matrix representation
* Simplify dmatrix methods
* Reduce statefullness of batch iterators
* BREAKING CHANGE: Remove prob_buffer_row parameter. Users are instead recommended to sample their dataset as a preprocessing step before using XGBoost.
* GPU binning and compression.
- binning and index compression are done inside the DeviceShard constructor
- in case of a DMatrix with multiple row batches, it is first converted into a single row batch
* Replaced std::vector-based interfaces with HostDeviceVector-based interfaces.
- replacement was performed in the learner, boosters, predictors,
updaters, and objective functions
- only interfaces used in training were replaced;
interfaces like PredictInstance() still use std::vector
- refactoring necessary for replacement of interfaces was also performed,
such as using HostDeviceVector in prediction cache
* HostDeviceVector-based interfaces for custom objective function example plugin.
* Integrating a faster version of grow_gpu plugin
1. Removed the older files to reduce duplication
2. Moved all of the grow_gpu files under 'exact' folder
3. All of them are inside 'exact' namespace to avoid any conflicts
4. Fixed a bug in benchmark.py while running only 'grow_gpu' plugin
5. Added cub and googletest submodules to ease integration and unit-testing
6. Updates to CMakeLists.txt to directly build cuda objects into libxgboost
* Added support for building gpu plugins through make flow
1. updated makefile and config.mk to add right targets
2. added unit-tests for gpu exact plugin code
* 1. Added support for building gpu plugin using 'make' flow as well
2. Updated instructions for building and testing gpu plugin
* Fix travis-ci errors for PR#2360
1. lint errors on unit-tests
2. removed googletest, instead depended upon dmlc-core provide gtest cache
* Some more fixes to travis-ci lint failures PR#2360
* Added Rory's copyrights to the files containing code from both.
* updated copyright statement as per Rory's request
* moved the static datasets into a script to generate them at runtime
* 1. memory usage print when silent=0
2. tests/ and test/ folder organization
3. removal of the dependency of googletest for just building xgboost
4. coding style updates for .cuh as well
* Fixes for compilation warnings
* add cuda object files as well when JVM_BINDINGS=ON
