That depends on what your application is doing. I sincerely hope that 
spinning the cores 100% is not the only goal here. I hope you just want the 
MATLAB program runs faster.

Have you profile your code? Do you know where the bottle neck is?

If the bottleneck happens to be parallelizedable, or you expect it to be 
able to be parallelized, please contact our supoort and let us know. These 
are invaluable feedback we like to hear everyday.

Asking a general statement like your post makes this very difficult to give 
any useful answer. Without knowing specific problems, I cannot say if the 
problem would benefit from using multicore.

Do you have any particular set of functions in mind?
