Increasing the number of workers for a parfor loop

I am using a parfor loop and it uses only 4 workers, even when the preferred number of workers is 12. How can I increase the number of workers to at least 8?

Use parpool to set the number of workers. Note that you must have a PC with 12 physical cores, so an Intel-processor with 4 physical cores won't do 8 workers, even though Intel advertises with "8 cores", since four of them are virtual.
