The present information processing apparatus executes fault-tolerant distributed computing through a network and the information processing apparatus comprises: a finish initiator that creates a finish state on a home node; an activity creator that instructs to create at least one activity on a remote node; an activity launcher that allows to store in a resilient store a value indicating that at least one live activity is present on the remote node; an activity closer that decreases the number in the local memory when the living activity is completed and resets the value in the resilient store to indicate that no live activity is present on the remote node; and a finish closer that closes the finish state when the value stored in the resilient store indicates an absence of remote nodes having at least one live activity.
