Update regression tests with a newer GCC version #57

Closed snukky closed 4 years ago

snukky commented 4 years ago

Our regression tests outputs have been generated using Marian compiled with GCC 5.4.0, since it was a default GCC version on Ubuntu 16.04. We want to move to a newer compiler, however, Marian generates slightly different results for GCC >= 7 (compare https://github.com/marian-nmt/marian-dev/issues/408).

GCC 5.4.0 is not preinstalled on GitHub-hosted runners. Ubuntu 18.04 is shipped with 7.4, Ubuntu 20.04 with 9.3. May GCC 9.3 be too new for CUDA?

This could be also an opportunity to generate outputs with --sync-sgd, since it might become a default eventually: https://github.com/marian-nmt/marian-dev/pull/690#discussion_r463998160

Done. Jenkins compiles now Marian with GCC 8.4.0
