cpu核数 matlab,确定可用于matlabpool的最大处理器数量（MATLAB并行工具箱）

I'm currently writing some code in MATLAB that uses the parfor loop to speed up some tedious calculations.

My issue is that the code will be run on a remote cluster, and could be run on 4-core, 8-core or 12-core machines (I won't know which one in advance)...

I basically need a code snippet that will allow MATLAB to determine the maximum number of cores that can be used in matlabpool. If we call this variable maxcores, I can then go ahead and use

matlabpool('open',maxcores).

so that I can make sure that I am using all the cores that are available to me.

You can get the number of cores on the machine through feature('numCores'), which is undocumented but seems unlikely to break. (source)

Someone claims there that getNumberOfComputationalThreads also works since R2007a, but it doesn't on my R2012a.
