The process includes performing a processing that includes specifying a first element and a second element, calculating four local fields indicating a first change amount in a value of an evaluation function due to changes in values of four state variables in which the values change due to an exchange of the assignment locations, obtaining a second change amount in the value of the evaluation function when the exchange is made, based on the four local fields, and determining whether or not to execute the exchange based on the second change amount. The process further includes searching for the assignment states that minimize or maximize the value of the evaluation function by iterating the processing.
