I have a 24 core machine.How to run 24 instances of a program simultaneously? I could run upto 8 jobs(maximum number that matlabpool open allows) using the matlab parfor command but dont know how to extend it to 24 jobs.

With Parallel Computing Toolbox, the "local scheduler" allows you to run a MATLABPOOL up to size 8. If you wish to exceed this, you could purchase additional licences of the MATLAB Distributed Computing Server.
