The large pool is an optional memory area intended for memory allocations that are larger than is appropriate for the shared pool.
The large pool can provide large memory allocations for the following:
-
UGA for the shared server and the Oracle XA interface (used where transactions interact with multiple databases)
-
Message buffers used in the parallel execution of statements
-
Buffers for Recovery Manager (RMAN) I/O slaves
By allocating session memory from the large pool for shared SQL, the database avoids performance overhead caused by shrinking the shared SQL cache. By allocating memory in large buffers for RMAN operations, I/O server processes, and parallel buffers, the large pool can satisfy large memory requests better than the shared pool.

The large pool is different from reserved space in the shared pool, which uses the same LRU list as other memory allocated from the shared pool. The large pool does not have an LRU list. Pieces of memory are allocated and cannot be freed until they are done being used. As soon as a chunk of memory is freed, other processes can use it.
