Parameter to control xgboost core_num

reza1615

Please provide a parameter to set number of cores for xgboost now it is by default -1 or all. which cause to use all system resource and we can't run another program at the same time.

@reza1615 At the moment it is too clumsy to keep adding input variables since featurewiz already has too many parameters. I think this is worth adding when I make a major update to featurewiz.

Is there another way to control it by dictionary parameters or by injecting pre-setup xgboost model?

It takes just a few seconds or less to run XGBoost in featurewiz. I think that it is not worth to add a parameter since xgboost keeps changing their API so many times a year. Currently they have threads, cores, what-not. I am wary of changing featurewiz so rapidly. Sorry.
