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. + + + By default the package is build without parellization, if you want +to enable OpenMP set the environment variable OMP=yes. + For enabling MPI set the environment variable MPI=yes, this requires +a MPI implementation, use mpich (openmpi isn't working). + To enable GPU support set CUDA=yes, this requires the CUDA toolkit. + To install the Python module set PYTHON=yes (note: python3 only). + If you want to run the tests set the environment variable TESTS=yes, +this requires gtest. |
