  • Publication number: 20220261298
    Abstract: A synchronous core processing unit executes the same program as a program executed by another computer for an execution unit at a synchronization timing synchronized with a synchronous core processing unit of the other computer, and migrates the program being executed for which migration is requested according to characteristics of the program to a quasi-synchronous core processing unit. The quasi-synchronous core processing unit executes the program migrated from the synchronous core processing unit, and then migrates the program to the synchronous core processing unit. The synchronous core processing unit outputs, to an output comparison machine, an execution result obtained by executing the program migrated from the quasi-synchronous core processing unit at the synchronization timing.
