# peerCount

The total number of GPUs in the peer group, if applicable.

## Declaration

```swift
var peerCount: UInt32 { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion A peer count value of 0 indicates the GPU isn’t in a peer group. Otherwise, the GPU is in a peer group and the value represents the total number of GPUs in the group, including this one.
