1. A fault tolerant/fault resilient computer system, comprising:

  • at least two compute elements; and

    at least one controller connected to the at least two compute elements;

    wherein;

    each of the compute elements has clocks that operate asynchronously to clocks of the other compute elements, the compute elements each execute a stream of instructions, upon issuing an I/O request instruction from the stream of instructions, each compute element enters a halted state, and each compute element is removed from the halted state by an interrupt generated upon completion of the I/O request instruction.
