Abstract
An aspect of the embodiment utilizes a selection circuit that includes a first storage circuit for storing information of m×n bits each corresponding to a choice. The storage circuit indicates whether the corresponding choice is in a selectable state or not. A first round robin circuit for executing a round robin process on the second storage circuit selects one of the bits contained in the corresponding bit string and indicates that a choice is in a selectable state. A second round robin circuit executes the round robin process on the bit string having the m-bit width to select one of the bits indicating that the corresponding choice, and a control circuit controls the first and the second round robin circuit.
