Parallel Matlab
By default Matlab on Viper will run on a single core as mutli-threading conflicts with the schedulers resource management, however there are three ways in which Matlab can utilise multiple processors:
Multi-threading
Matlab can use multiple threads for certain built in functions for example linear algebra and numerical functions such as fft, \ (mldivide), eig, svd, and sort. These functions automatically execute on multiple computational threads in a single MATLAB session, allowing them to execute faster on multicore-enabled machines. Additionally, many functions in Image Processing Toolbox are multithreaded
Parallel Computing Toolbox
The Parallel Computing Toolbox allows you to open a number of workers (separate Matlab engines) on the local node, up to the number of cores on that node (28 for standard nodes in an exclusive session).

Distributed Computing Toolbox
The distributed computing toolbox is not currently supported on Viper
