Lester, MathWorks offer Parallel Computing Toolbox, which lets you run applications in parallel on upto 12 workers on a local machine and several more if you have a scheduler and a cluster to connect to.

As with all MathWorks software, you will have to to the the website and request for a trial to start with.

Do all these stuff like statistical software, parallel computing all need to be pruchased if I can't get a trial? Is there a way to use basic matlab to run the data separately without these softwares?

[Shashank Prasanna]

You will need to purchase them if you want to use the functionality they provide. Several Statistics functions have options to internally use parallel computing if you have the toolbox already installed. You are mostly out of luck if you don't have the toolbox, but I suppose you could figure out a way to launch several different MATLABs to do the same analysis on different data.

There is no trial licenses for MATLAB Student Version, but that toolbox is only $US29 for Student Version.

I managed to find the liscense but school wise, it might take a longer time then my project due date...Find another way round then...
