Title: RE: Going multicore, Sun Fire T2000 (8 cores)

We just went through a licensing analysis for the T1000 and the Multicore processors,.. in the Oracle licensing document it states that for Intel Multi-Core system the algorithm is the number of cores * .25 for the processor license. For IBM and/or HP (I might be off a little here cause we didn't dive into the HP and IBM processors) but I believe it stated the #processors * .5.

For SUN Multicore processors the algorithm was the #cores * .75 so for 8 cores the license would be the same as it is for 6 processors

From an Oracle licensing perspective, 8 cores in the niagra processor count as one processor for Oracle licenseing purposes.

Thanks,

MessageCan you elaborate on "use all those cores simultaneously"? Would a
parallel query not use all the cores, or heavy concurrent access by users?
Imagine the licensing cost if you had two or three of these in a rac?
