+Q: Why does my application say "Named symbol not found" and abort when I run it?

+This is most likely caused by trying to use OpenMP offloading with static
+libraries. Static libraries do not contain any device code, so when the runtime
+attempts to execute the target region it will not be found and you will get an

+
+Currently, the only solution is to change how the application is built and avoid
