There was a Google organised hackathon on this topic. Given a set of resources, locations, and (estimated) popularity, Optimise for video load time by determining what should be moved to the cache when and where.

did anything from the hackathon turn out to be used?

I’m not sure as I don’t work at Google and didn’t see any follow up. Maybe some in the winning teams would know.

I do think there is some temporal logic already present in Google’s algorithm which wasn’t part of the challenge.
