From what I can tell re MPI, the intent is to support distributing runs out to various nodes, running the simulations, collecting the results, then running ABC-PLS on the collected results.
"resume" directory seems to serve a related purpose.
These seem like useful approaches to offer, but are currently deprecated clutter. Recommend we just excise them for now, then revisit if necessary in the future. At that point, my imagination of AbcSmc would enable implementing those in a stand-alone way as some mixture of simulator / storage classes.
