CPU_COUNT
Value: 0-unlimited
Default: 0 or actual number of CPUs
Specifies the number of CPUs available to Oracle. Oracle uses this setting to set the default value of the LOG_SIMULTANEOUS_COPIES parameter. On single-CPU computers, the value of CPU_COUNT is 0.
On most platforms Oracle automatically sets the value of CPU_COUNT to the number of CPUs available to the Oracle instance. If there is heavy contention for latches, change the value of LOG_SIMULTANEOUS_COPIES to twice the number of CPUs available, but do not change the value of CPU_COUNT.
