And a good answer...

This page describes which OpenMP offloading features are supported in 
XLF 15.1.5, system pre-reqs, and how to enable offloading support:

Basically, to turn on offloading support, you just need "-qsmp=omp 
-qoffload".  But we only support a subset of OpenMP 4.5 offloading in 
XLF 15.1.5.  The page above describes the subset.  We also have more 
detail here:
