New hope for system wide secure memory with G1-GC

I had this idea years ago about segmenting GC memory on small process islands and using proxies between them in order to speed up and use global - yet - secure memory addressing system wide. This idea is not brand new, but it combines the best from distributed memory models with tight integrated memory and security, or so was my idea back in 2003 at least. It didn't sell well though. Yep, I tried!

But here comes new hope, The new GC "G1" for java 1.7:

With better languages on top of the JVM, like scala and groovy, it seems java might have a chance to bring us this cool platform, even though it has considerable legacy problems.
