A primary machine includes a primary virtual machine including a synchronization information generator configured to generate and output synchronization information based on an instruction and a result of execution of the instruction, and a fault selector configured to determine a type of fault information generated when the instruction was executed. The primary VM changes operation depending on a result of the determination of the type of fault information.

Primary machine and fault-tolerant system

When a worker executes an operation on an actual plant, an information processing device generates a first calculation result obtained by calculating a behavior of the actual plant after execution of the operation using a virtual plant following an operational status of the actual plant and generates each second calculation result obtained by calculating a behavior of the actual plant with respect to each of operation pattern plans corresponding to a state of the actual plant. The information processing device evaluates the operation that is executed by the worker based on the first calculation result and the second calculation result.
