Details:

While searching for how to get the number of CPUs in Octave I found:

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Read-the-number-of-cpus-on-Linux-td2295117.html

jwe wrote "I see an nproc module in gnulib that appears to be portable to
current systems of interest...Would someone like to contribute a function for
this purpose?"

The attachment is the entirely boiler-plate implementation of this if you want
it. (Also exposes nprocs_conf.)

Currently the m-file I use to count CPUs is here:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/imurray2/code/imurray-matlab/num_cores.m
It has separate hacks for Windows, Mac and Linux. But I can't test Windows or
MacOS as I don't currently run either. Having a built-in cross-platform
function would be nice.
