+Aggregate counts per processor socket for system-wide mode measurements. This
+is a useful mode to detect imbalance between sockets. To enable this mode,
+use --aggr-socket in addition to -a. (system-wide). The output includes the
+socket number and the number of online processors on that socket. This is
+useful to gauge the amount of aggregation.
