What is Oracle terminology?
Oracle Cloud Terminology. As you start using Oracle Cloud, it helps to understand the basic terminology we use to describe the Oracle Cloud features and services. A facility used to house computer systems and associated components.
What is Oracle CPU?
The Oracle cpu_count is determined when you start Oracle. The cpu_count affects the Oracle cost-based optimizer through many calculated parameters that use cpu_count as their basis and are considered every time that Oracle creates an execution plan for a SQL statement.
What is Oracle core factor?
Oracle Core Factor. Core factor is a weighting given by Oracle to reflect that certain models of CPU are slower than others. It is also used to encourage the purchase of their hardware. The core factor given to virtual cores in AWS or Azure is 0.5. Which means for a 4 core virtual server you need 2 cores of license.
What does OCPU stand for?
OCPUAcronymDefinitionOCPUOperator Console Processing Unit
What is the difference between OCPU and VCPU?
What's the difference? One OCPU has one physical core with two threads, the same in two vCPUs. With Oracle, you get an entire physical core. With Oracle Government Cloud, you're moving into a home with two floors all to yourself.
What are OCPU hours?
OCPU per Month (Calendar Month) or per Hour: The number of Oracle Compute Unit (OCPU) hours used as part of Oracle Compute Cloud Service. An OCPU provides the CPU capacity equivalent to one physical core of an Intel Xeon processor with hyperthreading enabled.
What is off box network virtualization in OCI?
'Off box' virtualization means virtualization is no longer committed into the hypervisor, it's now engineered into the network outside the physical box. The control plane, which runs the network, cannot be reached from the public internet.
How many cores is OCPU?
one physical coreAn OCPU provides CPU capacity equivalent of one physical core of an Intel Xeon processor with hyper threading enabled. Each OCPU corresponds to two hardware execution threads, known as vCPUs....Classic Compute Shapes Available.General Purpose ShapesOCPU/GBOC932 /2406 more rows
How many vCPU are there in 8 cores?
People may have misconception that 1 vCPU equals to 1 core. But there is no one to one relationship between vCPU and core in any virtualization software. Intel Xeon CPU E5-2650 v2 holds 8 Cores x8 = 64 vCPUs.
What are 3000 OCPU hours?
3,000 OCPU Hours = 3000 / 4 OCPUS / 24 hours = 31.25 days. 18,000 GB Memory Hours = 18000 / 24 GB / 24 hours = 31.25 days. That is that it will always be free!
What is CIDR in Oracle Cloud?
We're excited to announce the immediate availability of the modifiable virtual cloud network (VCN), Subnet, and VLAN classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) feature in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This feature allows you to dynamically change the size of your VCN by adding or resizing existing CIDR ranges.
What is POD in Oracle Cloud?
A pod is a fully. contained configuration running Oracle Service. Each pod has a matching pod in a. geographically separated recovery center to ensure service continuity should disaster strike. The latest Oracle technology is deployed in a fully redundant architecture.
Which OCI service should you use to run Apache spark applications?
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Data Flow is a fully managed Big Data service that lets you run Apache Spark applications at any scale with no administration.
Clarity for customers
The model other clouds use to measure their compute resources is virtual CPU or vCPU, and it’s truly virtual. An end user has no idea what resources underlie that abstraction, or how much a cloud provider might have oversubscribed their physical network bandwidth and compute cores for efficiency—theirs, not yours.
How OCPU is better for you
The Oracle CPU (OCPU) unit of measurement for x86 OCPUs is worth at least two vCPUs. That’s only counting two cores per physical CPU to account for two threads of execution: The main CPU core and its associated symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) unit.
What is Oracle Autonomous Database?
Oracle Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure uses specific algorithms to allocate and bill for usage of the OCPUs used by autonomous databases. Understanding these algorithms can help you determine how best to create and configure your autonomous databases to meet performance goals in the most cost-effective fashion.
Does Oracle use autonomous container database?
To ensure that no single autonomous database can auto-scale up to consume all OCPUs available in the pool for the overall deployment, Oracle Autonomous Database uses the autonomous container database as a limiting control.
What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
An OCPU is defined as the CPU capacity equivalent of one physical core of an Intel Xeon processor with hyper threading enabled, or one physical core of an Oracle SPARC processor.
What is vcpu in AWS?
AWS, Microsoft and Google use vCPU as compute performance unit. Each vCPU is defined as a hyperthread of an Intel Xeon core. A standard Intel processor core with hyperthreading enabled has 2 threads.
How many cores does a VM have?
VM.Standard1.1 shape - virtual machine powered by processor Intel Xeon 2.3 GHz E5-2699 v3. Processor contains 18 physical cores (18 OCPU) and in this specific shape, the customer is provisioned with 1 physical core (OCPU). The equivalent to 1 OCPU would be 2 threads.
How can we save on costs?
When sized right, moving to the cloud can result in cost savings. As seen with the customer, adjusting to OCPUs here and there can lead to cost savings. To optimize cost savings and have a better total cost of ownership (TCO) than your on-premises environment, keep the following concepts in mind:
