Abstract
A method for determining a combination of data for transfer comprises counting the number of candidates in data for candidates of a data transfer request for each row as the number of candidates at lattice points of a lattice composed of N rows×N columns, searching for a minimum value out of count values equal to or greater than 1, selecting and storing one row showing the minimum value. Regarding the candidates in the selected row, the method also comprises counting the number of candidates in each column where candidates exist, searching for a minimum value, selecting and storing one column, deleting all candidates on the row and the column determined, and repeating these processes until no more candidates exist to determine combinations of rows and columns stored at a point of time when no more candidates exist.
