maxNumCompThreads(1);

This is no longer valid. Then how to set the max number of threads in R2015b?

Answer 1

[Rebecca Krosnick]

maxNumCompThreads(1) should still work. The documentation page for maxNumCompThreads indicates that maxNumCompThreads will be removed in a future version: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/maxnumcompthreads.html

Another option for setting the maximum number of computational threads to 1 is to use the -singleCompThread option when starting MATLAB® to limit MATLAB to a single computational thread. Open MATLAB from a terminal with

matlab -singleCompThread

[Dyuman Joshi]

The documentation page no longer mentions that the function/functionality will be removed. Nor there is any notice specifying whether it has been deprecated or not.

It would be better if TMW could specify what the status for maxNumCompThreads is.
