Check the documentation for cublas. You may not be calling that function
with the proper arguments.

The host_data clause tells the compiler to use variables that have
already been mapped onto the accelerator via acc data or acc enter enter
data. You need to use the data directives to actually move the data as
appropriate. In host_data-2.f90 example, the value of 'y' was going to
be copyied out by the acc data region, so there was no need to use acc
update host.

You only need to use the update directive if you want to retain that
data on the accelerator.
