- Many unix systems have the option of purchasing a Floating Point processor
- as an add-on to the normal processor board e.g. HP PA-RISC, 386 based
- systems, etc.
-
- 1. Does Oracle perform floating point calculations internally ?
-
- 2. Is Oracle designed to make use of floating point processors if they exist
- on the system ?
-
- 3. To what extent will this increase the performance of Oracle ?
