read the dba guide: the parallel parameters allow you to specify the instance min and max parallel server count. when they are not busy, they attach themselves to process 1, otherwise they attach themselves to the process tree that is doing SQL. you can also specify a timeout period so that these things linger for awhile and then kill themselves off.
