What is main purpose of CHECKPOINT?

A Checkpoint is a database event, which synchronizes the data blocks in memory with the datafiles on disk.
A checkpoint has two purposes:

    2. Enable faster database recovery

The following are the parameter that will be used by DBA to adjust time or interval of how frequently its checkpoint should occur in database.
LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT = 3600; # Every one hour
LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL = 1000; # number of OS blocks.
