Gerry, the Reference manual says the value is measured in microseconds so what makes you think the value is in centi-seconds? Since v$ views are generally since instance startup the comparison between the two version would only be relative if the two instance have the same start time. Is this true? -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerry Miller Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 3:14 AM To: Oracle-L Group Subject: CPU rounding Hi, Can any one help me get to the bottom of this? We have two Solaris servers one hosting Oracle 10.1 and the other 11.2. The CPU stats on the 11g box are rounded to centiseconds while on 10g they are inmicroseconds: Example: In 11g: select value from v$sys_time_model where stat_name = 'DB CPU'; VALUE ----------- 27089090000 In 10g: select value from v$sys_time_model where stat_name = 'DB CPU'; VALUE ------------- 1373214613234 It is the same in v$sess_time_model and I suspect it is an OS setting that isat the root of the issue.
