I answered on there, <https://stackoverflow.com/a/61227622/664214>:

| It's not yet supported in GCC to use OpenACC to schedule parallel loops onto multicore CPUs. Using OpenMP works for that, of course, and you can have code with mixed OpenACC (for GPU offloading, as already present in your code) and OpenMP directives (for CPU parallelization, not yet present in your code), so that the respective mechanism will be used depending on whether compiling with `-fopenacc` vs. `-fopenmp`.
