This directory contains the R package for H2O4GPU, a collection of GPU solvers by H2O.ai with APIs in Python and R. The Python API builds upon the easy-to-use scikit-learn API. The h2o4gpu R package is a wrapper around the h2o4gpu Python module. The R package makes use of RStudio’s reticulate package for facilitating access to Python libraries through R.
There are a few system requirements, including Ubuntu 16.04+, Python >=3.6, R >=3.1, CUDA 8 or 9, and a machine with Nvidia GPUs. The code should still run if you have CPUs, but it will fall back to scikit-learn CPU based versions of the algorithms.
The h2o4gpu Python module is a prerequisite for the
R package. So first, follow the instructions here to
install the h2o4gpu Python package (either at the
system level or in a Python virtual envivonment). The easiest thing to
do is to pip install the stable release whl
file. To ensure compatibility, the Python package version number should
match the R package version number.
The recomended way of installing the R package can is from CRAN using
install.packages("h2o4gpu"). To install the development
version of the h2o4gpu R package, you can install
directly from GitHub as follows:
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("h2oai/h2o4gpu", subdir = "src/interface_r")Using a Python virtual environment is a good solution if you don’t want to upgrade your main Python installation to 3.6. If you installed the h2o4gpu Python module into a virtual environment, you will have to add a line of code to tell R which Python envivonment you want to use:
library(reticulate)
use_virtualenv("/home/username/venv/h2o4gpu") # set this to the path of your venvIf you have installed h2o4gpu Python module using
Anaconda, then you can use the use_condaenv() function
instead. More information about Python environment configuration is
available in the reticulate user
guide.
To test your installation, try the following example that builds a simple random forest classifier:
library(h2o4gpu)
# Prepare data
x <- iris[1:4]
y <- as.integer(iris$Species) # all columns, including the response, must be numeric
# Initialize and train the classifier
model <- h2o4gpu.random_forest_classifier() %>% fit(x, y)
# Make predictions
pred <- model %>% predict(x)For examples of how to use all of the functions in the package, please visit the vignettes section here.
If you have any issues, or have any recommendations to the installation instructions, please let us know by filing a GitHub issue. If there are installation issues, the first thing to check is the system requirements.
The first thing to check is that you actually have a machine with
Nvidia GPUs. If you can run the nvidia-smi command in the
shell and get an output that looks similar to this, it means you indeed
have GPUs and working drivers on your machine:

python versions found:

/usr/local/bin/python3That means that R package cannot locate the h2o4gpu
Python module. To fix this, make sure you have installed the
h2o4gpu Python module, and that you are using one of
the reticulate functions
(e.g. use_python(), use_virtualenv(),
use_condaenv()) to specify which Python environment you
want to use.
If you have multiple versions of Python installed on your machine and
don’t want to use the primary version (the one you get when you type
python at the command line), then you may consider using
reticulate::use_python() function to explicitly specify
which one to use:
library(reticulate)
use_python("/usr/local/bin/python")If you encounter an issue that is not documented here, please file a GitHub issue to tell us about it.
