Abstract
An optimization device includes: a memory; and a processor configured to: perform, as annealing operations, a process including, with respect to a change in a value of any of state variables included in an evaluation function representing an energy, based on a change in the energy, determining which change of value of the state variables is accepted, and determining a value of each of the state variables; retain correspondence information in which identification information that identifies the annealing operations is arranged; cause start of the process by each of the annealing operations, determine whether or not to perform, when the processes by two of the annealing operations corresponding to two temperatures are completed, exchange of the temperatures assigned to the two annealing operations; update the correspondence information when performing the exchange; and supply temperature information representing the temperatures to the two annealing operations.
