Chocolate lowland climate in the narrow band of latitudes where cacao is grown (20 degrees north and south of the equator), the commercial company Mars, Incorporated and the University of California, Berkeley are conducting genomic research in 2017–18 to improve the survivability of cacao plants in hot climates. Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, the dried and fermented seeds of the cacao tree ("Theobroma cacao"), a small, 4–8 m tall (15–26 ft tall) evergreen tree native to the deep tropical region of the Americas. Recent genetic studies suggest the most common genotype of the plant originated in the Amazon basin and
CACAO License. It uses GNU Classpath as its class library. CACAO supports Alpha, ARM, MIPS (32 and 64-bit), PowerPC (32 and 64-bit), S390, SPARC64, x86 and x86-64 architectures. With 1.6.0 release large parts of the C code were rewritten in C++. The migration was completed with the 1.6.1 release in June 2013. CACAO CACAO is a research Java Virtual Machine developed at TU Wien. It compiles the class binaries while running (no interpreter), resulting in faster execution. It is an academic project, originally developed by students doing practical training or diploma theses on specific topics. The first version of CACAO was
