-A [SQL pool](../../sql-data-warehouse/sql-data-warehouse-overview-what-is.md#sql-analytics-and-sql-pool-in-azure-synapse) represents a collection of analytic resources that are being provisioned when using [SQL Analytics](../../sql-data-warehouse/sql-data-warehouse-overview-what-is.md#sql-analytics-and-sql-pool-in-azure-synapse). Analytic resources are defined as a combination of CPU, memory and IO. These three resources are bundled into units of compute scale called Data Warehouse Units (DWUs). A DWU represents an abstract, normalized measure of compute resources and performance. A change to your service level alters the number of DWUs that are available to the system, which in turn adjusts the performance, and the cost, of your system.
