@stiber I was seeing some compile issues on a branch I just made off of SharedDevelopment when compiling for the GPU so I checked this branch out to confirm if it was something I did or not. I got the same errors. They are as follows:

1. When compiling, an error is detected in ConnGrowth_d.cpp. We are calling layout.vertexTypeMap_.data(). The map was recently changed from a vector to a RecordableVector but RecordableVector doesn't implement std::vector.data(). I locally tried implementing T *data() in RecordableVector and this resolved the issue. We are using it in a HostToDevice copy so maybe const T *data() is the better one to implement.
2. After resolving 1, I get a error in serialFirstHalfTest (I think it's during the linkage step). It says that there is an undefined reference to Connections911::registerHistoryVariables(). I don't get this error often enough to know what exactly is needed to resolve it.

@stiber I figured out 2. The registerHistoryVariables implementation was inside of a #if !(USE_GPU) so the linker couldn't find it. I will create a branch off of SharedDevelopment with these changes and we can pull them into the release branch when we are happy with the proposed fixes.

In addition, the GPU regression tests don't pass. It looks like their results files were not updated; they are missing the x_location, y_location, and vertexTypeMap outputs. I will include those in the PR.
