Look in the configuration file.

If the fastname property has the same value for all nodes, then you are on an SMP configuration. If there are differences, then you are on an MPP environment.

This changes a bit if the hardware is a grid, where the configuration file needs to be dynamic.

Up to this I can read your article as I am not a Premium Member, but it is understandable...
