# Configuring Spark compute
<a name="configurations-spark-compute"></a>

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio provides a set of Jupyter magic commands. Magic commands, or magics, enhance the functionality of the IPython environment. For more information about the magics that Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio provides, run `%help` in a notebook.

Compute-specific configurations can be set by using the `%%configure` Jupyter magic. The `%%configure` magic takes a JSON-formatted dictionary. To use %%configure magic, specify the compute name in the argument `-n`. Including `-f` will restart the session to forcefully apply the new configuration. Otherwise, this configuration will apply when the next session starts. 

For example: `%%configure -n {{compute_name}} -f`.
