You can add also any information from v$rtsm_sql_plan_monitor if needed

create or replace function px_session_info return varchar2 parallel_enable as
   vSID int;
   res varchar2(30);
begin
   vSID:=userenv('sid');
   select 
           to_char(s.server_group,'fm000')
    ||'-'||to_char(s.server_set,'fm0000')
    ||'-'||to_char(s.server#,'fm0000')
    ||'('||s.sid||','||s.degree||'/'||s.req_degree||')'
    into res
   from v$px_session s 
   where s.sid=vSID;
   return res;
exception when no_data_found then
   return 'no_parallel';
end;

Simple example:

select--+ parallel
  px_session_info, count(*)
from sys.obj$
group by px_session_info
/
PX_SESSION_INFO           COUNT(*)
