titleSimple Matlab batch job: mat-test.sh
#!/bin/bash
# The name of the job:
#$ -N MatlabTest
# Name of the output log file:
#$ -o matjob.log
# Combining output/error messages into one file:
#$ -j y
# Specifying the Queue
#$ -q UI
# One needs to tell the queue system to use the current directory as the working directory
#$ -cwd
# The command(s) to be executed:
matlab -nodisplay -nodesktop -nojvm -r batch
# Note after -r is the name of the routine or function
exit 0

Here is the Matlab function you are calling from within your job script:

titleExample Parallel Job: parallel-test.sh
#!/bin/bash
# The name of the job:
#$ -N test        ## replace 'test' with job name 
# Name of the output log file:
#$ -o matlabTest_parfor.log
# Combining output/error messages into one file ( change y to n for separate files)
#$ -j y
# Specify the parallel environment (PE) and number of cores to use (8):
#$ -pe smp 8
# One needs to tell the queue system to use the current directory as the working directory
#$ -cwd
# The matlab commands to be executed; replace "test" with your function name. 
# -r imediately runs a function without presenting an interactive prompt
/opt/matlab/R2012b/bin/matlab -nodisplay -nodesktop -nosplash -r parafor-test
exit 0

Within the Matlab script itself, you want to specify the number of cores you wish to reserve. This is done using the 'matlabpool('open', #)' command at the beginning of the file and ending the file with 'matlabpool('close')'.  If you only want to use one core then you can omit the 'matlabpool' commands from your file.
