Run MATLAB faster using the Parallel Computing Toolbox

Hi,

I would like to run MATLAB faster using the Parallel Computing Toolbox with the following configuration:

 MATLAB: R2010b,
 OS: Mac pro,
 CPU: Intel Xeon (2 processors),
 RAM: 8 GB,
 ATI Radeon HD 5870

Is there a way to open more than 8 workers by matlabpool on the local machine? Any solution without the use of the Matlab Distributed Computing Server? Hope somebody can give me some details. I would like to use the max of cores that i have (24 cores). Thank you very much in advance.

Parallel Computing Toolbox can only handle 8 workers. AFAIK, you must get MATLAB Distributed Computing Server for more.
