This makes GPU Hist robust in distributed environment as some workers might not be associated with any data in either training or evaluation. * Disable rabit mock test for now: See #5012 . * Disable dask-cudf test at prediction for now: See #5003 * Launch dask job for all workers despite they might not have any data. * Check 0 rows in elementwise evaluation metrics. Using AUC and AUC-PR still throws an error. See #4663 for a robust fix. * Add tests for edge cases. * Add `LaunchKernel` wrapper handling zero sized grid. * Move some parts of allreducer into a cu file. * Don't validate feature names when the booster is empty. * Sync number of columns in DMatrix. As num_feature is required to be the same across all workers in data split mode. * Filtering in dask interface now by default syncs all booster that's not empty, instead of using rank 0. * Fix Jenkins' GPU tests. * Install dask-cuda from source in Jenkins' test. Now all tests are actually running. * Restore GPU Hist tree synchronization test. * Check UUID of running devices. The check is only performed on CUDA version >= 10.x, as 9.x doesn't have UUID field. * Fix CMake policy and project variables. Use xgboost_SOURCE_DIR uniformly, add policy for CMake >= 3.13. * Fix copying data to CPU * Fix race condition in cpu predictor. * Fix duplicated DMatrix construction. * Don't download extra nccl in CI script.
eXtreme Gradient Boosting
Community | Documentation | Resources | Contributors | Release Notes
XGBoost is an optimized distributed gradient boosting library designed to be highly efficient, flexible and portable. It implements machine learning algorithms under the Gradient Boosting framework. XGBoost provides a parallel tree boosting (also known as GBDT, GBM) that solve many data science problems in a fast and accurate way. The same code runs on major distributed environment (Kubernetes, Hadoop, SGE, MPI, Dask) and can solve problems beyond billions of examples.
