The [experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#comparison-experiment) on the public data also shows that LightGBM can outperform other existing boosting tools on both learning efficiency and accuracy, with significant lower memory consumption. What's more, the [experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#parallel-experiment) shows that LightGBM can achieve linear speed-up by using multiple machines for training in specific settings.
