This commit changes the datatype of leaf_values from float to uint8_t, and votes from float to uint16_t. This was accomplished by rescaling all weight values to fall between 0 and 255. This change remove all floating-point operations from the benchmark, and reduces the x86 executable size to 57k. It also uses slightly deeper trees (max_depth increased from 4 to 5), which somewhat increases the complexity of the benchmark.
This specific XGBoost model performs handwritten digit classification using a variant of the MNIST dataset which has been downscaled to 8x8 pixels. It achieves 95.82% accuracy on the full (10,000-sample) test set, the first 128 samples of which are included in the benchmark.
