Who controls load balancing with multiple CPUs, Oracle or OS?



Who controls load balancing with multiple CPUs, Oracle or OS?

Answer:

Load Balancing is not done by Oracle. The Operating System manages CPU control and usage.

The only references to CPU parameters in the init.ora file for Oracle are:    
--CPU_COUNT: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/initparams039.htm#REFRN10023
--PARALLEL_THREADS_PER_CPU: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/server.112/e10820/initparams183.htm

Neither of the above parameters are involved with Load Balancing of the CPU.
