Method Detail

init

public static void init(Map<String,String> envs)
                 throws XGBoostError

Initialize the rabit library on current working thread.

Parameters:

envs - The additional environment variables to pass to rabit.

Throws:

XGBoostError

shutdown

public static void shutdown()
                     throws XGBoostError

Shutdown the rabit engine in current working thread, equals to finalize.

Throws:

XGBoostError

trackerPrint

public static void trackerPrint(String msg)
                         throws XGBoostError

Print the message on rabit tracker.

Parameters:

msg -

Throws:

XGBoostError

versionNumber

public static int versionNumber()
                         throws XGBoostError

Get version number of current stored model in the thread. which means how many calls to CheckPoint we made so far.

Returns:

version Number.

Throws:

XGBoostError

getRank

public static int getRank()
                   throws XGBoostError

get rank of current thread.

Returns:

the rank.

Throws:

XGBoostError

getWorldSize

public static int getWorldSize()
                        throws XGBoostError

get world size of current job.

Returns:

the worldsize

Throws:

XGBoostError

allReduce

public static float[] allReduce(float[] elements,
                Rabit.OpType op)

perform Allreduce on distributed float vectors using operator op. This implementation of allReduce does not support customized prepare function callback in the native code, as this function is meant for testing purposes only (to test the Rabit tracker.)

Parameters:

elements - local elements on distributed workers.

op - operator used for Allreduce.

Returns:

All-reduced float elements according to the given operator.
