When developing and optimizing remote I/O, a commonly asked question is: how do I know the achieved bandwidth of my application? While nsys does offer network-related features, limitations exist:
--nic-metrics: Requires OFED/InfiniBand dependency that cannot be fulfilled on many systems, includingg7e.16xlarge.--enable=network_interface: Shows raw counter instead of bandwidth value. Does not register signals and therefore always returns non-zero exit code.This PR develops an nsys plugin to allow flexible, generic NIC bandwidth profiling without the above limitations.
