How to use a data structure that supports GPU in R? #11263
Description
I am using the xgboost R package, with GPU enabled, running with a local GPU. I get a noticeable speedup compared to CPU only.
I also get the message "Falling back to prediction using DMatrix due to mismatched devices.". Same as mentioned here: #9791
The solutions mentioned in the other issue are useful for python. Is there anything I can do in R to better support the GPU?

I'm not aware of GPU based inputs for the R package yet. If you want XGBoost to support a specific R project (say, a GPU-enabled datatable implementation), please let us know.

Hmm, looking around, there appears not to be any such R package out there yet. I'll leave it up to you to decide if this issue should be closed or not.

Let's close this issue for now. We can open a new one for a more specific feature request when there's a GPU-based structure.
