I have 400 cores split across 20 nodes on my cluster and I am running the following command for parfor: `parfor(ifile2=ifile1:500,np2)` where np2=400. Instead of connecting to 400 workers, I get this in the output: connected to 12 workers.
Is there something wrong that is going on? I read somewhere that the 12 workers limit was only for R2013a and earlier; I am running R2016a (9.0.0.341360) 64-bit (glnxa64).

By default, preferred number of workers are defined as 12, so you need to change this value to much larger by "Parallel" -> "Parallel Preferences" -> "Preferred number of workers in a parallel pool".

Thanks for the reply. I have to submit this job to the cluster, so I don't get the matlab GUI. I use this command to execute the program: matlab -r -nodesktop -nosplash "programName". Is there a way I can set the preferences through some command in the script instead?

You can change this value by editing parallel.settings in prefdir. In Linux machine, prefdir of R2016a would be /home/USERNAME/.matlab/R2016a. You can check this directory by do "prefdir" command in MATLAB.
It is editable by vi, vi ~/.matlab/R2016a/parallel.settings
then, change the value of PreferredNumWorkers from 12 to higher in the following part.
<key name="PreferredNumWorkers">
<double>
<value>12</value>
</double>
</key>
