Garbage Collector

One existential part of Network Operation System (NOS) is [distributed] memory manager a.k.a. Garbage Collector. If we think about (G)lobality of GC , and continuations of task mapping to nodes, and also habits of NOS users we can expect that GC will can guided  by Celestial mechanics (Internet works this way).


Idea is to trigger Processor level GC by daylight line. 

Let first mark-and-sweep happened in Tokyo when Sun risen up. Guys coming to local Stock Exchange will push some analytic to NOS for processing. Then NOS will try to distribute algorithm to data locations in US and Russia where lots of idle nodes at night time.

Then it is Beijing turn to sweep their nodes and so on around.
