For example CloudSites from Rackspace. They offer a basic package with 10k compute cycles.
I'm curious to know how they measure computing cycles.
What program/package/technique they use?
Is it linux package or apache module or something else?

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

In their CloudSites FAQ, under the section titled "Cloud Sites™ Pricing and Scaling" they define a 'compute cycle' as being "roughly equivalent to running a server with a 2.8 GHz modern processor". So that's the definition, a single CPU at 2.8Ghz for a month. As for how it's measured, well they probably use something such as VMWare's vCenter Chargeback plugin. | |||
