<p>There is provided a fault tolerant system capable of adequately performing error processing, synchronization processing, and resynchronization processing for realizing a fault tolerant function in accordance with the system state. The fault tolerant system comprises at least two systems including: a CPU subsystem; an IO subsystem connected to the CPU subsystem; an FT controller to be connected between the CPU subsystem and 10 subsystem; and crosslinks connecting own system and other system through the FT controller. The CPU subsystem operates at the same timing with a CPU subsystem of other system in lock-step. The FT controller manages a plurality of system operations, according to which both systems perform error processing, duplication processing, and resynchronization processing for fault tolerant, by associating a plurality of states corresponding to the system operations with predetermined event signals. According to these event signals, the FT controller selects the system operations while changing the states for every system and allows the CPU subsystem to perform the selected system operation.
