.setupCl

Either NULL, cluster, logical, or numeric. NULL returns NULL,
a <code>TRUE</code> logical or numeric will spawn a new SOCK cluster with
an "optimal" cluster number or <code>cl</code> cluster nodes respectively.
In the three latter cases, all necessary packages and objects will
be sent to each of the nodes.

The desired number of child clusters, passed to
<code>.optimalClusterNum</code> via <code>maxNumClusters</code>. If not provided,
<code>cl</code> must be provided.

numClus

outfile

An optional simList object; this will be used to find the
packages required via setting
<code>packages = SpaDES.core::packages(sim, clean = TRUE)</code>

a character vector indicating which packages to load in the
cluster. Will ignore this if the <code>sim</code> is provided.

packages

This is mostly a wrapper around several functions in the parallel package:
<code>makeCluster</code>, <code>clusterSetRNGStream</code>, <code>detectCores</code>.

internal

Provide the core discrete event simulation (DES) framework for
implementing spatially explicit simulation models. The core DES components
facilitate modularity, and easily enable the user to include additional
functionality by running user-built simulation modules. Now includes (experimental)
conditional scheduling.
