Some processors expose performance counters but you don't need to accurately measure memory bandwidth to know you are maxing out. Suppose you know that the memory bandwidth is 1Gb/s and you program reads 100Gb of data to produce the result. If the execution takes ~100s then you know you hit the maximum memory bandwidth.
