Very good news. Dataproc now lets you use NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate XGBoost in a Spark pipeline. This combination can speed up machine learning development and training up to 44x and reduce costs 14x when using XGBoost. With this kind of GPU acceleration for XGBoost, you can get better performance, speed, accuracy, and reduced TCO, plus an improved experience when deploying and training models. Spinning up elastic Spark and XGBoost clusters in Dataproc takes about 90 seconds. https://gweb-cloudblog-publish.appspot.com/products/data-analytics/ml-with-xgboost-gets-faster-with-dataproc-on-gpus/amp/
