mex, mwblas, and multithreading: controlling the number of threads

Hello,
Since maxNumCompThreads is going to be removed, does anyone know of another way to limit the number of cores utilized when calling the MathWorks BLAS library from a mex function?
Right now, I can use maxNumCompThreads(N) to limit my CPU usage to N cores on a shared machine when using ssyrk or dgemm or other useful BLAS functions. I've searched and searched and it doesn't seem like there is going to be a good way to do this without maxNumCompThreads. Are there any options besides "1 thread" and "all threads"?
Thanks, DH

From what I understand, the choice needs to be made at MATLAB startup. Starting MATLAB with the -singleCompThread option will force all operations to run in a single thread.

From the documentation, it doesn't look like it. But, I'll let others weigh in. (Maybe you can use an OS-level control to restrict the number of threads for your MATLAB process?)

The maxNumCompThreads function has been very useful for limitting the used resources, although some situations cannot be caugth by such a simple mechanism, e.g. if the BLAS functions are called from several threads of a PARFOR loop.
It is very sad, that its support will be finished.
