The second thread comes along and will set it to `omp_is_initial_device` because it was, at any point in time, either `-1` or `omp_is_initial_device`. And so on. So why the ternary operator?
Because it is a test. If `omp_is_initial_device()` at least once return unexpected value, `isHost` will be set to 1 instead of the expected 0.

The first version of the test did not test the required functionality - SPMD mode without runtime. I fixed the test and committed to test the construct that supports SPMD+no runtime. This version of the test goes further and adds the testing of the parallel level with thread divergence.
The calculations are simplу (see the comment below). We have a loop, that will be executed 4 times (since the outer loop iterates from 0 to 10, scheduling is static, 1 and we have condition `omp_get_thread_num() > 5`. It means that only 4 threads will execute inner `parallel for` construct (10 - number of iterations in outer loop, 6 - the first thread that will execute the loop, need to fix the expression from 9-5 to 10-6 in the comment).
Each inner loop iterates 10 time and for secnd level of parallelism `omp_get_level()` must return 2. Thus, the expected result is 4*10*2 = 80.


================
Comment at: libomptarget/deviceRTLs/nvptx/test/parallel/spmd_parallel_regions.cpp:30
 #pragma omp critical
-    ParallelLevel2 = (ParallelLevel2 < 0 || ParallelLevel2 == 2) ? L2 : 1;
+      ParallelLevel2 = (ParallelLevel2 < 0 || ParallelLevel2 == 2) ? L2 : 1;
+    } else {

Same, it is test, it checks that `ParallelLevel2` inall required threads set correctly to 2, not 3, 1, 0 or something else.


================
Comment at: libomptarget/deviceRTLs/nvptx/test/parallel/spmd_parallel_regions.cpp:38
     printf("Runtime error, isHost=%d\n", isHost);
   }

> As far as I can tell, a value of -1 for isHost will not cause the test to fail. `(bool)-1` is `true` and you never verify the "Runtime error" is not printed.
It will, since expected result is `Target region executed on the device`. With `isHost` equal to `-1` the result will be `Target region executed on the host`
