It's not really a real-world unit of measure. It's just a simplistic unit for this game, as a quick and easy way of telling whether you have enough server resources. As has been said, it just means "compute units" and has no real-world meaning.

I actually got the inspiration from back when I was working with AWS servers. They got something called ECU (EC2 Compute Units). Some geeky stuff here: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#What_is_an_EC2_Compute_Unit_and_why_did_you_introduce_it

Best,
Jonas
