Features

There are four running types of HyperGBM：

• Single node：running in a single machine and using Pandas and Numpy datatype

• Single node with NVIDIA GPU device：running in a single machine with NVIDIA GPU devices and using cuDF and cupy datatype

• Distributed with single node：running in a single machine and using Dask datatype which requires creating Dask collections before using HyperGBM

• Distributed with multi nodes：running in multiple machines and using Dask datatype which requires creating Dask collections to manage resources for multiple machines before using HyperGBM

The overview of supported features for different running types are displayed in the following table:
