Each memory controller has its own PMU. Measuring the complete system
bandwidth would require specifying all imc PMUs (see perf list output),

+prefix and glob matching is supported in the PMU name, and the prefix
+'uncore_' is also ignored when performing the match. So the command above

This example measures the combined core power every second
