How can I tell how many cores matlab has available for batch jobs?

Parallel pools have defined numbers, but when I submit batch runs, how many will matlab run before queuing them up? I can't see anything in the monitor (2014a) that says. This is all local machine stuff BTW.

Does this answer your question:

N = maxNumCompThreads()

It works, though it says it will be removed in a future release (from 2014a).
