* Change DefaultEvalMetric of classification from error to logloss

* Change default binary metric in plugin/example/custom_obj.cc

* Set old error metric in python tests

* Set old error metric in R tests

* Fix missed eval metrics and typos in R tests

* Fix setting eval_metric twice in R tests

* Add warning for empty eval_metric for classification

* Fix Dask tests

DPC++-based Algorithm for Tree Construction

This plugin adds support of OneAPI programming model for tree construction and prediction algorithms to XGBoost.

Usage

Specify the 'objective' parameter as one of the following options to offload computation of objective function on OneAPI device.

Algorithms

objective Description
reg:squarederror_oneapi regression with squared loss
reg:squaredlogerror_oneapi regression with root mean squared logarithmic loss
reg:logistic_oneapi logistic regression for probability regression task
binary:logistic_oneapi logistic regression for binary classification task
binary:logitraw_oneapi logistic regression for classification, output score before logistic transformation

Specify the 'predictor' parameter as one of the following options to offload prediction stage on OneAPI device.

Algorithms

predictor Description
predictor_oneapi prediction using OneAPI device

Please note that parameter names are not finalized and can be changed during further integration of OneAPI support.

Python example:

param['predictor'] = 'predictor_oneapi'
param['objective'] = 'reg:squarederror_oneapi'

Dependencies

Building the plugin requires Data Parallel C++ Compiler (https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/components/dpc-compiler.html)

Build

From the command line on Linux starting from the xgboost directory:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ EXPORT CXX=dpcpp && cmake .. -DPLUGIN_UPDATER_ONEAPI=ON
$ make -j
