Abstract: A system may include one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions, the instructions when executed to instruct one or more processors to: receive a platform-independent access binding data structure (a PIAB data structure), the PIAB data structure comprising a platform-independent representation of a subject class, a verb, an object, and a binding comprising a permission for the subject class to perform the verb on the object; convert the PIAB data structure to a first platform-specific binding for a first target platform; and cause the first platform-specific binding to be implemented on the first target platform.

Abstract: A method of caching large data objects of greater than 1 GB, comprising: populating a sharded cache with large data objects backfilled from a data store; servicing large data object requests from a plurality of worker nodes via the sharded cache, comprising deterministically addressing objects within the sharded cache; and if a number of requests for an object within a time exceeds a threshold: after receiving a request from a worker node for the object, sending the worker node a redirect message directed to a hot cache, wherein the hot cache is to backfill from a hot cache backfill, and wherein the hot cache backfill is to backfill from the sharded cache.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, comprising: dividing a first binary image into a plurality of variable-sized chunks, wherein the first binary image is an aggregate of a plurality of files, and wherein the dividing does not depend on file boundaries; and computing hashes of the variable-sized chunks, and storing the hashes in a content addressable storage (CAS) with the hashes as keys.
