So garbage collection is not such a bad idea after all...

  Where sleeping is an acceptable cost.

  1/3 of compute time spent on garbage collection is pretty inefficient!

    Have you seen this volume of garbage?!

    Maybe it's comforting to think that the time is not only spent with garbage collection. That's one part of sleep, but by far not the only one.

    Well if it gives you an uptime of 80-110 years, that’s pretty useful.

    Only in f it's exclusively for GC. If it's opportunistic GC, then it's simply running when nothing else is. IOW, we may need the sleep for a different reason, and that is when the load is low enough to allow the GC to run. Assume that we can trigger this while awake. This doesn't mean that we don't need to sleep for some other reason.

    What if it's garbage collection and NN training/backprop time? Then it starts sounding like a great deal to me at least.

    It didn't get the memo on big 'O'.

  GC with a time window. Maybe there's a paper there.
