There are five mandatory processes in oracle 10g.
1.PMON
2.SMON
3.DBWR
4.CKPT
5.LGWR
Archiever process is mandatory if your database is in ARCHIEVED log mode.
Oracle 8i and 9i were databases with 'i' referring to the Internet. For version 10 onwards, Oracle named the database as 10g, 'g' referring to the grid. 10i and 11i are ERP systems, nothing to do with the database.
G signifies "Grid Computing"... With the release of Oracle 10g in 2003, Oracle changed the suffix in their previous release version; from 9i to 10g... 'I' stands for Internet...this was done as a marketing effort in order to show Oracle's move towards Grid Computing... Purely a marketing strategy...

In oracle 10g or 11g, 'g' represents grid computing. Which enables clusters of low-cost, industry standard servers to be treated as a single unit. BY Er. Gurinder Singh
G - Grid Technology I - Internet Applications
g stands for Grid. These versions introduced the use of grid computing techniques.
what is i Oracle 8i? Starting in 1999 with Version 8i, Oracle added the "i" to the version name to reflect support for the Internet with its built-in Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Oracle 9i added more support for XML in 2001. In 2003, Oracle 10g was introduced with emphasis on the "g" for grid computing, which enables clusters of low-cost, industry standard servers to be treated as a single unit.
Oracle i means "Internet", that means oracle manipulate data via internet. But next oracle comes with "Grid Computing" and rename with 'g'
