use of comma

1. The entire population tends to converge toward the optimum, provided (that) the initial guess is good enough.

2. The entire population tends to converge toward the optimum, if the initial guess is good enough.

Is it optinal or compulsory to use a comma before provided and if in these sentences or is it a natural pause?
