Required prerequisites

I have searched the Issue Tracker that this hasn't already been reported. (comment there if it has.)
I have tried the latest version of nvitop in a new isolated virtual environment.

Motivation

Thank you for building and maintaining such a great tool!

This issue is related to #117, but I believe it proposes a more practical solution.

Currently, memory bandwidth utilization (%GMBW) is only visible in the process detail view (i.e., after pressing Enter on a process), as shown below:

However, in the default monitor mode, %GMBW is not displayed:

Would it be possible to include %GMBW in the default monitor view, or at least provide a toggle to enable it? This metric is particularly helpful when diagnosing whether a workload is memory-bound or compute-bound.

Thanks again for your excellent work on this tool!

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it is worth adding it.

One blocker is whether we'd still want to support minimal rendering width with 79 characters.

@XuehaiPan Do you mean that by adding %GMBW, the total width of the columns—GPU, PID, USER, GPU-MEM, %SM, %CPU, %MEM, and TIME—would exceed 79 characters (excluding the COMMAND column)?

(excluding the COMMAND column)

Including the COMMAND column.

I tested it with a prototype. There is enough space to show it. I will open a PR to resolve this.
