Starting in Oracle 12c, Oracle will; start with two redo log worker processes. Also, 12c and beyond has changed the number of redo log, adapting the number of redo log writers (LGWR) process according to the number of CPU's on the server. You can use this UNIX/Linux command to see the current number f log writer worker processes on your server:
$ ps -eaf| grep ora_lg
While there is always only one LGWR for an Oracle instance, Oracle allows busy DML databases to spawn multiple log writer factotum processes (multiple LGWR slave processes that are owned and governed by the master LGWR).
According to MOSC Note 109582.1, you will see multiple log writer slaves processes named as ix(nn)
