A memory management unit (MMU) is disclosed for storing mappings between virtual addresses and physical addresses. The MMU includes a translation look-aside buffer (TLB) and a memory management unit controller. The TLB stores mappings between a virtual address and a physical address. The MMU controller receives a request to insert an entry into the TLB and performs a set of operations based on the received request. The MMU controller determines whether an entry stored in the TLB is associated with the virtual address of the request, removes the entry stored in the TLB that is associated with the virtual address and inserts the requested entry into the TLB.
