Hi, everybody.

I have a computer installed with two quad-cpus and ddr3 memory. Due to the Intel Hyperstread technique, I have 16 processors displayed in the task manager of my computer. The Matlab installed on my computer is 2009a edition, and the Matlab Distributed Computing Server and the Parallel Computing Toolbox are version 4.1. Is there a way to open 16 workers by matlabpool on the local machine? Hope somebody can give me some details. Thank you very much in advance.

To use 16 workers, you need to set up a jobmanager (or other scheduler)
since this is more than the "local scheduler" limit.

The installation wizard here:

http://www.mathworks.com/support/product/DM/installation/ver_current/setupwiz.html

should walk you through the stages. I would suggest that you contact our
installation support team if you have trouble.

Cheers,

Edric.
