Compute Models in Autonomous Database

Autonomous Database offers two compute models when you create or clone an instance: ECPU and OCPU.

  • ECPU: An ECPU is an abstracted measure of compute resources. ECPUs are based on the number of cores elastically allocated from a pool of compute and storage servers.

    While provisioning a new database or cloning an existing database:

    • The CPU count defaults to 2 ECPUs.

    • For databases that need more than 2 ECPUs, you must specify the number of assigned ECPUs as an integer. For example, you cannot assign 3.5 ECPUs to a database. The next available number of ECPUs above 3 is 4.

  • OCPU: An OCPU is a physical measure of compute resources. OCPUs are based on the physical core of a processor with hyper-threading enabled.

    Note

    OCPU is a legacy billing metric and has been retired for Autonomous Data Warehouse (Data Warehouse workload type) and Autonomous Transaction Processing (Transaction Processing workload type). Oracle recommends using ECPUs for all new and existing Autonomous Database deployments. See Oracle Support Document 2998742.1 for more information.
    While provisioning a new database or cloning an existing database:
    • The CPU count defaults to 1 OCPU.
    • For databases that need more than 1 OCPU, you must specify the number of assigned OCPUs as an integer. For example, you cannot assign 3.5 OCPUs to a database. The next available number of OCPUs above 3 is 4.

See Provision an Autonomous Database Instance and Clone an Autonomous Database Instance for more information.
