The prototyping of embedded platforms demands rapid exploration of multi-dimensional parameter sets. Especially the design of the memory system is essential to guarantee high utilization while reducing conflicts at the same time. To aid the design process, several probabilistic models to estimate the throughput of interleaved memory systems have been proposed. While accurately estimating the average throughput of the system, these models fail to determine the impact on individual processing elements. To mitigate this divergence, we extend three known models to include non-uniform access probabilities and priorities.
