开源|LightGBM：三天内收获GitHub 1000+ Star，表现超越已有boosting工具。
LightGBM
LightGBM 是一个梯度 boosting 框架，使用基于学习算法的决策树。它可以说是分布式的，高效的，它有以下优势：
更快的训练效率
低内存使用
更好的准确率
支持并行学习
可处理大规模数据
环境描述
操作系统：mac os Sierra 10.12
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
处理器：1.6 GHz Intel Core i5
内存：8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
图形卡：Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB
编译过程
lightgbm 依赖 OpenMP 进行编译，苹果的 Clang 不支持。请使用 GCC / G++ 代替。参考官方给出的安装指南：
brew install cmake brew install gcc --without-multilib git clone --recursive https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM ; cd LightGBM mkdir build ; cd build cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-6 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-6 .. make -j以下为我逐条执行的输出：1、使用 brew 安装 cmake，CentOS下使用 yum install cmake,Ubuntu下使用apt-get install cmake
$ brew install cmake Updating Homebrew... ==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/cmake-3.7.2.sierra.bottle.tar.gz ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Pouring cmake-3.7.2.sierra.bottle.tar.gz ==> Caveats Emacs Lisp files have been installed to: /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/cmake ==> Summary /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.7.2: 2,143 files, 29MB avenMac:conf aven$ cmake Usage cmake [options] <path-to-source> cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build> Specify a source directory to (re-)generate a build system for it in the current working directory.

2、安装gcc，CentOS下使用 yum install gcc,Ubuntu下使用apt-get install gcc，可能还需要安装g++

构建成功后会在上层目录生成两个文件，lib_lightgbm.so lightgbm，一个库文件，一个可执行文件。
