Only half of available cores being used in parfor

I have two computers running the same code in which there is a parfor loop. Both computers are running Windows 7 but have different numbers of cores and different versions of Matlab: Machine 1: 8 cores, Matlab 2013A Machine 2: 4 cores, Matlab 2014A On machine 1 I start a worker pool with the command matlabpool open 8. On machine 2 I start a worker pool with the command parpool 4 as this has superseded the matlabpool open command. On Machine 2, all 4 cores are in use at 100% during the simulation. On machine 1, 8 cores are in use for a minute or so at the beginning of the simulation and then 4 drop off to almost 0% and the other 4 continue at close to 100%. Why is machine 1 only using half of the available cores even though a pool of 8 workers has been established?

Looking at your problem statement, it is probable that other workers (in 8 workers scenario) have completed their task which was assigned to them and you cannot see those cores being used. I would suggest you to repeat this experiment with a huge input set and try to visualize your cores. Also, you can attach "matlab.exe" in process monitor to check what is happening in each worker process because Windows OS might be running other application processes on those four cores.
