There are five steps to use the Memory Management Page. This page documents Step 3.
Ensure you are satisfied with the memory management mode and global memory allocations before you fine tune memory components. You should review all your changes against the charts. Remember, you can use this page to investigate the impact of making changes without applying those changes. If appropriate, there is a procedure to apply changes as documented in the last step.
To use the Memory Management Page
Memory Components
See how the Current Oracle memory is allocated, and how Oracle Advisories Calculate that memory SHOULD be allocated in the selected memory mode.
To customize the calculated value click Edit.
Note: Some Oracle memory components are allocated and freed in units called granules.

Granule Size in SGA
In the dynamic SGA model, SGA memory components are allocated and freed in units called granules. A granule cannot be shared among multiple SGA components.
Granule size is platform-dependent and is determined largely by the total (maximum) SGA size.
Note: In earlier versions of Oracle, the implementation of the System Global Area (SGA) allows the operating system-dependent code to determine the minimum size of an individual allocation for a particular subsystem requiring memory. The buffer cache, the shared and large pools, and the redo buffers were treated as independent logical sections of the SGA, with the product lines determining the minimum allocation sizes and other attributes for shared memory.
