Memory related:
max_connections
shared_buffers
temp_buffers
max_prepared_transactions
work_mem
maintenance_work_mem
max_stack_depth
max_files_per_process
wal_buffers

In config file some in of this settings exists comment line like
"changes require restart". This is mean exactly restart or reload can do
