Hello all, 

I wondered about volk. I want it to compute mean to peak value of a complex array. How could I do this? 

Besides, I really need to know is there any example of using volk? The code itself, doesn't reflect input and output parameters explicitly. 

Best, 

Mostafa

Marcus gave you a far more complete answer. Just a few words here. First, VOLK is used all over the place in GNU Radio. So look for blocks that use VOLK. Second, the name scheme of VOLK is incredibly explicit as to the input and output parameters. See the manual page and wiki page describing VOLK:

http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/volk_guide.html

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/VOLK

There also my talk on VOLK recorded for the IEEE Signal Processing Society:
