Sorry -- it looks like no one replied to this. :-(

Yes, that should be correct. If you're using the 7.1 series, you can
use "laminfo -param rpi all | grep priorty" to confirm the priorities
of each of the RPI modules. The coll module priorities didn't make it
into the SSI parameter system :-(, but I can confirm for you that what
you said is correct (smp will automatically be used when the
communicator spans more than one node and at least one node has more
than one process, and shmem will automatically be used when all
processes in the communicator are on one node).
