+Specifies barrier pattern of forkjoin barrier which is used for the parallel and teams constructs.
+As libomp barrier adopts centralized barrier, barrier pattern can be specified for gather
+and release phase respectively.
+
+**Currently supported patterns:**
+
+* ``linear``: Linear centralized barrier
+* ``tree``: Static tree barrier. Branching-factor is set by ``KMP_FORKJOIN_BARRIER``
+* ``hyper``: Like tree but use hyper-cube. Branching-factor is set by ``KMP_FORKJOIN_BARRIER``
+* ``hier``: Like tree but use system's hierarchical information of caches
+* ``dist``: Two-level distributed barrier. To use this, all barrier patterns must be
+  specified as dist
