Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 4:
5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:
an inverted spin buffer; and
an inverted spin selection circuit, wherein
as the annealing step proceeds, when updating the values of the spins, the spin state determination unit stores the values of updated spins and inversion flags for identifying the updated spins in the inversion spin buffer,
the inversion spin selection circuit sends the values of the updated spins to the instantaneous magnetic field calculation unit and sends information for identifying the updated spins based on the inversion flags to the spin interaction memory, and
the spin interaction memory sends an interaction coefficient related to the spins to the instantaneous magnetic field calculation unit based on the information for identifying the updated spins.
