* - training with external memory part 1 of 2
- this pr focuses on computing the quantiles using multiple gpus on a
dataset that uses the external cache capabilities
- there will a follow-up pr soon after this that will support creation
of histogram indices on large dataset as well
- both of these changes are required to support training with external memory
- the sparse pages in dmatrix are taken in batches and the the cut matrices
are incrementally built
- also snuck in some (perf) changes related to sketches aggregation amongst multiple
features across multiple sparse page batches. instead of aggregating the summary
inside each device and merged later, it is aggregated in-place when the device
is working on different rows but the same feature
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 (Hadoop, SGE, MPI) and can solve problems beyond billions of examples.
