Abstract: A problem is inputted into an operation unit. A computation unit searches for a ground state of an Ising model. A management unit converts the problem inputted from the operation unit to the Ising model, inputs the Ising model produced by conversion and initial operating conditions into the computation unit, and has the computation unit search for the ground state using overall operating conditions produced by changing the initial operating conditions based on a result of the computation unit searching for the ground state using the initial operating conditions.

Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium stores a visualization program that renders an internal organ and causes a computer to execute a process that includes generating along an input normal vector, a given stereoscopic shape; calculating an overlapping portion that overlaps the given stereoscopic shape and the shape of the internal organ; changing a degree of transparency of the overlapping portion; and rendering the shape of the internal organ to include the overlapping portion for which the degree of transparency has been changed.
