The point is that polyphase channelizers inherently make use of the fact that you can a) split the sample stream into multiple polyphase components, b) do the same with the filter taps, c) run the individual filters at the lower rate and d) use the FFT amongst a lot of permutations. This complexity makes it desirable to do this in one block.
Looking at pfb_channelizer_ccf:
189 while(i >= 0) { 190 in = (gr_complex*)input_items[j]; 191 d_fft->get_inbuf()[d_idxlut[j]] = d_fir_filters[i]->filter(&in[n]); 192 j++; 193 i--; 194 } 195 196 i = d_nfilts-1; 197 while(i > last) { 198 in = (gr_complex*)input_items[j]; 199 d_fft->get_inbuf()[d_idxlut[j]] = d_fir_filters[i]->filter(&in[n-1]); 200 j++; 201 i--; 202 } both while loops could lend themself to parallelization, if d_idxlut has j unique elements; but that's the case (for this particular implementation, this might be different for channelizers that map the same stream to multiple frequencies):
87 for(unsigned int i = 0; i < d_nfilts; i++) { 88 d_idxlut[i] = d_nfilts - ((i + d_rate_ratio) % d_nfilts) - 1; 89 } The easiest solution would be modifying polyphase_filterbank.cc, and adding something like d_thread_workers. I'd recommend not overdoing parallelization, a single filter(float) step doesn't really justify the synchronization overhead. I'd start with just wrapping the two while loops in two separate threads.

Does anyone have any knowledge of how the parameters need to be set in the hierarchical pfb channelizer? There's no documentation that I can find.
I HAVE gotten the regular channelizer to work and it's awesome (screenshots included), I was just hoping to use a hierarchical version that would be able to use multiple blocks and therefore utilize multiple processors.
otherwise I have to design my own, which is not on my 'fun list'.
