* Implement GK sketching on GPU.
* Strong tests on quantile building.
* Handle sparse dataset by binary searching the column index.
* Hypothesis test on dask.
Normal prediction with DMatrix is now thread safe with locks. Added inplace prediction is lock free thread safe.
When data is on device (cupy, cudf), the returned data is also on device.
* Implementation for numpy, csr, cudf and cupy.
* Implementation for dask.
* Remove sync in simple dmatrix.
* Use pre-rounding based method to obtain reproducible floating point
summation.
* GPU Hist for regression and classification are bit-by-bit reproducible.
* Add doc.
* Switch to thrust reduce for `node_sum_gradient`.
* Move prediction cache into Learner.
* Clean-ups
- Remove duplicated cache in Learner and GBM.
- Remove ad-hoc fix of invalid cache.
- Remove `PredictFromCache` in predictors.
- Remove prediction cache for linear altogether, as it's only moving the
prediction into training process but doesn't provide any actual overall speed
gain.
- The cache is now unique to Learner, which means the ownership is no longer
shared by any other components.
* Changes
- Add version to prediction cache.
- Use weak ptr to check expired DMatrix.
- Pass shared pointer instead of raw pointer.
* Pass pointer to model parameters.
This PR de-duplicates most of the model parameters except the one in
`tree_model.h`. One difficulty is `base_score` is a model property but can be
changed at runtime by objective function. Hence when performing model IO, we
need to save the one provided by users, instead of the one transformed by
objective. Here we created an immutable version of `LearnerModelParam` that
represents the value of model parameter after configuration.
* Extract interaction constraints from split evaluator.
The reason for doing so is mostly for model IO, where num_feature and interaction_constraints are copied in split evaluator. Also interaction constraint by itself is a feature selector, acting like column sampler and it's inefficient to bury it deep in the evaluator chain. Lastly removing one another copied parameter is a win.
* Enable inc for approx tree method.
As now the implementation is spited up from evaluator class, it's also enabled for approx method.
* Removing obsoleted code in colmaker.
They are never documented nor actually used in real world. Also there isn't a single test for those code blocks.
* Unifying the types used for row and column.
As the size of input dataset is marching to billion, incorrect use of int is subject to overflow, also singed integer overflow is undefined behaviour. This PR starts the procedure for unifying used index type to unsigned integers. There's optimization that can utilize this undefined behaviour, but after some testings I don't see the optimization is beneficial to XGBoost.
* Apply Configurable to objective functions.
* Apply Model to Learner and Regtree, gbm.
* Add Load/SaveConfig to objs.
* Refactor obj tests to use smart pointer.
* Dummy methods for Save/Load Model.
* Refactor configuration [Part II].
* General changes:
** Remove `Init` methods to avoid ambiguity.
** Remove `Configure(std::map<>)` to avoid redundant copying and prepare for
parameter validation. (`std::vector` is returned from `InitAllowUnknown`).
** Add name to tree updaters for easier debugging.
* Learner changes:
** Make `LearnerImpl` the only source of configuration.
All configurations are stored and carried out by `LearnerImpl::Configure()`.
** Remove booster in C API.
Originally kept for "compatibility reason", but did not state why. So here
we just remove it.
** Add a `metric_names_` field in `LearnerImpl`.
** Remove `LazyInit`. Configuration will always be lazy.
** Run `Configure` before every iteration.
* Predictor changes:
** Allocate both cpu and gpu predictor.
** Remove cpu_predictor from gpu_predictor.
`GBTree` is now used to dispatch the predictor.
** Remove some GPU Predictor tests.
* IO
No IO changes. The binary model format stability is tested by comparing
hashing value of save models between two commits
* 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
* 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.
* 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.
* 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
