multicore - MATLAB and using multiple cores to run calculations -

All I am trying to explain is how to run MATLAB as best as possible. I have a very good new machine

12 GB RAM core i7 3.2GHz CPU and many free space and a strong graphics card.

However, when I run a benchmark test of the MattelBeg (Command Bench), then the computer lists the Windows XP single core 1.7 GHz near the worst near the machine.

Any idea why and how can I improve it?

Thank you very much

First of all, I want to make sure the bench command I recommend running again that MATLAB has fully loaded all the libraries. A lot of MATLAB is loaded on demand, so it is always best for second or third time.

MATLAB automatically takes advantage of many tasks, for example, many elementwise functions like + , . * as well as bull-backed operations (and perhaps others). Lists things that are multithreaded.

The parallel computing toolbox is useful when MATLAB's internal multilevel can not help (if it is, then this is usually the fastest way to work). This gives you parallelism clearly, and
