Oracle background processes are persistent processes that make up the instance and they will run until the instance is shutdown. They are processes, not programs. There is only one Oracle program on the host, i.e. there is only one binary, named oracle. It is just executed many times with different names

DBWn
Dirty Buffer threshold Scan 1/2 LRU list Full Checkpoints Timeout 3 seconds

CKPT
- Regularly initiates a checkpoint. Uses DBWR to write all dirty blocks - Updates data file headers - Shutdown

LGWR
Flushes redo log buffer to online redo log file every 3 seconds, in commits, and checkpoints or when the redo log buffer is 1MB or more than 1/3 full.

ARCn *
Archiver process copies an online redo log file to another location when the redo log file is filled up or there is a log switch

RVWR
Recovery Writer writes flashback data (preimages) to flashback database logs in the flash recovery area
