How to kill all processes from a user using GPU?

Question

How do I kill all processes from a user using GPU? E.g.

killall --gpu --user kong

Where did you get --gpu flag for killall? Manpage even in 21.10 does not mention it. — N0rbert, Aug 23 '21 at 19:48
If you are using nvidia-smi, you may be able to do something like this: How to kill all processes using a given GPU? — steeldriver, Aug 23 '21 at 20:01

Instead of using GPU, you can try a one liner like this:

for i in $(ps axu | tr -s " "  | grep "^kong" | cut -d " " -f 2); do sudo kill -9 $i, ; done

Here, I'm getting all processes belonging to a user and forcing them to be terminated by sending them a kill signal. I assumed the username is kong.
