- Definition
- OCPU Per Hour: is defined as the number of Oracle Compute Unit (OCPU) hours used as part of the Oracle Cloud Service. An OCPU provides CPU capacity equivalent of one physical core of a processor with hyper-threading enabled. Each OCPU corresponds to two hardware execution threads, known as vCPUs. (UCM v092326, 23 September 2026.)
- Counting rules
- Cloud consumption meter, not an on-premises license metric. BYOL services convert supported on-premises licenses into activatable OCPUs, for example one Enterprise Edition Processor license or 25 Named User Plus licenses per 2 OCPUs for Base Database Service and Exadata Database Service BYOL listings (UCM v092326).
- Floors / minimums
- Service-specific; see the BYOL conversion ratios in the Universal Credits Service Descriptions.
