DimBoost: Boosting Gradient Boosting Decision Tree to Higher Dimensions

Summary: DimBoost is a scalable GBDT trainer for ultra-high dimensional data (330K features), with a performance model revealing collective-communication bottlenecks. Key innovations: scheduler, two-phase split finding, sparsity-aware histograms with parallel indexing, and low-precision gradients; 2–9x speedups over existing systems.
