  • Patent number: 11663150
    Abstract: A fault tolerant system includes a primary virtual machine and a secondary virtual machine. The primary virtual machine includes a synchronizing information generator and a first interrupt blocker. The synchronizing information generator executes bytecode and outputs synchronizing information based on information related to the executed bytecode. The first interrupt blocker blocks an interrupt inputted from an external location. The secondary virtual machine includes a synchronous execution unit that executes the bytecode based on the synchronizing information and a second interrupt blocker that blocks the interrupt. When the interrupt is acquired, the synchronizing information generator executes the bytecode based on the interrupt. The first interrupt blocker outputs the interrupt to the synchronizing information generator when the interrupt is inputted during execution of an instruction, included in the bytecode, to accept the interrupt.

  • Publication number: 20220382267
    Abstract: An information processing device predicts, using a virtual plant which follows an actual plant, the occurrence of a first-type alarm in the actual plant in the case of implementation of each of a plurality of operation patterns virtually generated in relation to the operation of the actual plant by a worker. Then, the information processing device readjusts a prediction value, which serves as the basis for the prediction that the first-type alarm would be output, within a threshold value range; and performs re-prediction of the occurrence of a second-type alarm, which is different than the first-type alarm, using the virtual plant. Subsequently, based on the result of the re-prediction, the information processing device performs display control of the alarms predicted using the virtual plant.
