Is it possible to make MATLAB use more cores if connected to a supercomputer? Or it will only use the allowable limit set by MATLAB(R2011a)

I am using batch processing to execute a code which takes over a week to run on R2011a. Currently I am using a workstation with 12 cores. Is it possible to increase the number of cores utilized if the code is executed on a supercomputer.

The number of local workers was restricted to 12 until R2014a.

If you were to use R2014a or later on the supercomputer, then you would be able to use as many cores as you could arrange to use.

Note: some supercomputers are managed as servers only, with no graphical applications permitted. If that is the case for the supercomputer system you have access to, then it might be configured to use the Distributed Computing Server . If that is what you happen to have access to, then the license set up for it will already permit more than 12 cores to be used (unless it happens to be a pretty old configuration!)
