.. code-block:: shell-session

****** WARNING ******
******WARNING******

Setting Dynamic Memory (NPS) partition modes require users to quit all GPU workloads.
AMD SMI will then attempt to change memory (NPS) partition mode.
Upon a successful set, AMD SMI will then initiate an action to restart AMD GPU driver.
This action will change all GPU's in the hive to the requested memory (NPS) partition mode.
After changing memory (NPS) partition modes, users MUST restart
(reload) the AMD GPU driver. This command NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY
reloads the driver, see `amd-smi reset -h` and
`sudo amd-smi reset -r` for more information.

Please use this utility with caution.
This change is intended to allow users the ability to control when is
the best time to restart the AMD GPU driver, as it may not be desired
to restart the AMD GPU driver immediately after changing the
memory (NPS) partition mode.

Do you accept these terms? [Y/N] Y
Please use `sudo amd-smi reset -r` AFTER successfully
changing the memory (NPS) partition mode. A successful driver reload
is REQUIRED in order to complete updating ALL GPUs in the hive to
the requested partition mode.

In order to reload the AMD GPU driver, users MUST quit all GPU
