a second information processing device that calculates first calculation result data that is a calculation result of the first data received via the communication path and second data to be retained and transmits the calculated first calculation result data via the communication path;
a third information processing device that transmits third data to be retained via the communication path; and
a fourth information processing device that calculates second calculation result data that is a calculation result of the third data received via the communication path and fourth data to be retained and calculates third calculation result data that is a calculation result of the first calculation result data received via the communication path and the calculated second calculation result data,
the first to fourth data are first to fourth numerical data, respectively,
the first calculation result data is an addition result of first logical product result data that is a calculation result of logical product of the first numerical data and the second numerical data, and first shift result data obtained by shifting first exclusive OR result data that is a calculation result of exclusive OR of the first numerical data and the second numerical data by 1 bit to the right,
the second calculation result data is an addition result of second logical product result data that is a calculation result of logical product of the third numerical data and the fourth numerical data, and second shift result data obtained by shifting second exclusive OR result data that is a calculation result of exclusive OR of the third numerical data and the fourth numerical data by 1 bit to the right, and
the third calculation result data is an addition result of third logical product result data that is a calculation result of logical product of the first calculation result data and the second calculation result data, and third shift result data obtained by shifting third exclusive OR result data that is a calculation result of exclusive OR of the first calculation result data and the second calculation result data by 1 bit to the right.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first to fourth data are first to fourth numerical data, respectively,
the first calculation result data is an average of the first numerical data and the second numerical data,
the second calculation result data is an average of the third numerical data and the fourth numerical data, and
the third calculation result data is an average of the first calculation result data and the second calculation result data.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the first to third information processing devices acquire the third calculation result data calculated by the fourth information processing device.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where any specific information processing device among the first to fourth information processing devices does not exist, any one of the information processing devices other than the specific information processing device generates the specific information processing device virtually.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where there is a fifth information processing device in addition to the first to fourth information processing devices, the first to fourth information processing devices are selected.

6. A control method of an information processing system in which first to fourth information processing devices are coupled via a communication path, the method comprising:
transmitting first data to be retained via the communication path by the first information processing device;
calculating first calculation result data that is a calculation result of the first data received via the communication path and second data to be retained and transmitting the calculated first calculation result data via the communication path by the second information processing device;
transmitting third data to be retained via the communication path by the third information processing device; and
calculating second calculation result data that is a calculation result of the third data received via the communication path and fourth data to be retained and calculating third calculation result data that is a calculation result of the first calculation result data received via the communication path and the calculated second calculation result data by the fourth information processing device,
the first to fourth data are first to fourth numerical data, respectively,
the first calculation result data is an addition result of first logical product result data that is a calculation result of logical product of the first numerical data and the second numerical data, and first shift result data obtained by shifting first exclusive OR result data that is a calculation result of exclusive OR of the first numerical data and the second numerical data by 1 bit to the right,
the second calculation result data is an addition result of second logical product result data that is a calculation result of logical product of the third numerical data and the fourth numerical data, and second shift result data obtained by shifting second exclusive OR result data that is a calculation result of exclusive OR of the third numerical data and the fourth numerical data by 1 bit to the right, and
the third calculation result data is an addition result of third logical product result data that is a calculation result of logical product of the first calculation result data and the second calculation result data, and third shift result data obtained by shifting third exclusive OR result data that is a calculation result of exclusive OR of the first calculation result data and the second calculation result data by 1 bit to the right.
