# name

The name of the GPU’s counter set instance.

```
var name: String { get }
```

## Discussion

The property typically matches one of the common counter set names that [`MTLCommonCounterSet`](/documentation/Metal/MTLCommonCounterSet) defines (see [Confirming which counters and counter sets a GPU supports](/documentation/Metal/confirming-which-counters-and-counter-sets-a-gpu-supports)).
