Facts on Oracle DB License in Public Cloud

For Oracle Enterprise Edition License

When counting Oracle Processor license requirements in Authorized Cloud Environments, the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table is not applicable.

Amazon EC2 and RDS -

Two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is enabled, and
One vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is not enabled.

Microsoft Azure – count one Azure CPU Core as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license.

For Oracle Standard Edition License

 The pricing is based on the size of the instance.

Authorized Cloud Environment instances with four or fewer Amazon vCPUs are counted as 1 socket, which is considered equivalent to an Oracle processor license.

Authorized Cloud Environment instances with two or fewer Azure CPU Cores Azure vCPUs are counted as 1 socket, which is considered equivalent to an Oracle processor license


Few additional facts...

 For Authorized Cloud Environment instances with more than four Amazon vCPUs, or more than two Azure CPU Cores, every four Amazon vCPUs used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of four), and every two Azure CPU Cores used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of two) equate to a licensing requirement of one socket..

Under this cloud computing policy, Oracle Database Standard Edition may only be licensed on Authorized Cloud Environment instances up to 16 Amazon vCPUs or eight Azure CPU Cores. Oracle Standard Edition One and Standard Edition 2 may only be licensed on Authorized Cloud Environment instances up to eight Amazon vCPUs or four Azure CPU Cores.

What is the difference between Elastic and Enterprise Redis w.r.t "Hybrid Query" capabilities

  We'll explore scenarios involving nested queries, aggregations, custom scoring, and hybrid queries that combine multiple search criteria. 1. Nested Queries ElasticSearch Example: ElasticSearch supports nested documents, which allows for querying on nested fields with complex conditions. Query: Find products where the product has a review with a rating of 5 and the review text contains "excellent". { "query": { "nested": { "path": "reviews", "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match": { "reviews.rating": 5 } }, { "match": { "reviews.text": "excellent" } } ] } } } } } Redis Limitation: Redis does not support nested documents natively. While you can store nested structures in JSON documents using the RedisJSON module, querying these nested structures with complex condi...

Training LLM model requires more GPU RAM than storing same LLM

Storing an LLM model and training the same model both require memory, but the memory requirements for training are typically higher than just storing the model. Let's dive into the details: Memory Requirement for Storing the Model: When you store an LLM model, you need to save the weights of the model parameters. Each parameter is typically represented by a 32-bit float (4 bytes). The memory requirement for storing the model weights is calculated by multiplying the number of parameters by 4 bytes. For example, if you have a model with 1 billion parameters, the memory requirement for storing the model weights alone would be 4 GB (4 bytes * 1 billion parameters). Memory Requirement for Training: During the training process, additional components use GPU memory in addition to the model weights. These components include optimizer states, gradients, activations, and temporary variables needed by the training process. These components can require additional memory beyond just storing th...

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.
