* Don't set_params at the end of set_state.
* Also fix another issue found in dask prediction.
* Add note about prediction.
Don't support other prediction modes at the moment.
* Initial support for cudf integration.
* Add two C APIs for consuming data and metainfo.
* Add CopyFrom for SimpleCSRSource as a generic function to consume the data.
* Add FromDeviceColumnar for consuming device data.
* Add new MetaInfo::SetInfo for consuming label, weight etc.
* 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.
* Combine thread launches into single launch per tree for gpu_hist
algorithm.
* Address deprecation warning
* Add manual column sampler constructor
* Turn off omp dynamic to get a guaranteed number of threads
* Enable openmp in cuda code
* Fix test_gpu_coordinate.
* Use `gpu_coord_descent` in test.
* Reduce number of running rounds.
* Remove nthread.
* Use githubusercontent for r-appveyor.
* Use githubusercontent in travis r tests.
* Add multi-GPU unit test environment
* Better assertion message
* Temporarily disable failing test
* Distinguish between multi-GPU and single-GPU CPP tests
* Consolidate Python tests. Use attributes to distinguish multi-GPU Python tests from single-CPU counterparts
* Fix#3730: scikit-learn 0.20 compatibility fix
sklearn.cross_validation has been removed from scikit-learn 0.20,
so replace it with sklearn.model_selection
* Display test names for Python tests for clarity
* 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
* Fail GPU CI after test failure
* Fix GPU linear tests
* Reduced number of GPU tests to speed up CI
* Remove static allocations of device memory
* Resolve illegal memory access for updater_fast_hist.cc
* Fix broken r tests dependency
* Update python install documentation for GPU
* Fix#2905
* Fix gpu_exact test failures
* Fix bug in GPU prediction where multiple calls to batch prediction can produce incorrect results
* Fix GPU documentation formatting
