A hash table controller may include a hash calculator configured to receive a key and to determine, based thereon, a first entry in a first bank of a hash table for a value associated with the key and determine a second entry in a second bank of the hash table for the value. The hash table controller also may include a table operations manager configured to determine that the first entry and the second entry are empty, and to store the value and a duplicate of the value at both the first entry and the second entry, respectively.
