!> This module provides the facility to control the execution of the solver.
!!
!! It is configured by the `sim_control` table in the configuration.
!! From this table three settings will be read:
!!
!! * `time_control` defines the control of time stepping see
!!   [[tem_timeControl_module]].
!! * `abort_criteria` defines additional abort criteria to be heeded see
!!   [[tem_abortCriteria_module]].
!! * `delay_check` defines whether checks should be delayed (default is false).
!!
!! If there is no `sim_control` found in the configuration, an attempt will be
!! made to read the `time_control` table instead, while an empty
!! `abort_criteria` table is assumed.
!!
!! Thus, the general structure of the `sim_control` configuration has the
!! following form:
!!
!!```lua
!!  sim_control = {
!!    time_control = {},
!!    abort_criteria = {},
!!    delay_check = false
!!  }
!!```
!!
!! Alternatively, if there are no abort criteria to be specified, and
!! `delay_check` should not be activated in general, just the
!! `time_control` table may be specified:
!!
!!```lua
!!    time_control = {}
!!```
!!
!! See the [[tem_timeControl_module]] for details on the `time_control` table.
!! See the [[tem_abortCriteria_module]] for details on the `time_control` table.
!!
!! The `delay_check` flag indicates whether to use a nonblocking allreduce
!! for the synchronization of status flags, to decide on triggered events during
!! the computation. It relaxes the synchronization requirements but introduces
!! a delay by one check interval until all processes get set status bits.
!!
!! A simple complete example without checks for steady state would be:
!!
!!```lua
!!  sim_control = {
!!    time_control = {
!!      min = 0,
!!      max = 10.0,
!!      interval = {iter = 5}
!!    },
!!    abort_criteria = {
!!      stop_file = 'stop',
!!    },
!!    delay_check = false
!!  }
!!```
