Hi Kyle,
In addition to the wiki information,
there are also the following documents.
GHC’s Garbage Collector
http://www.mm-net.org.uk/workshop190404/GHC's_Garbage_Collector.ppt
The GHC Runtime System
http://www.scs.stanford.edu/14sp-cs240h/slides/ghc-rts.pdf
Here is related image.

Cheers,

Yep. The wiki should be modified — it is pretty clearly an old page in error. Good eye on spotting it.
There is some extremely detailed material on the GHC developers wiki: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Rts/Storage/GC
I would hope that the material on the main Haskell Wiki could be at an “intermediate” level — a bit of high-level overview, with pointers to other good material.
Cheers, Gershom
I would suggest posting this to ghc-devs. 7 лип. 2015 07:54 "Kyle Miller" пише:

controlled mutation of the heap, and so objects in older generations may point to younger objects. In fact, the RTS maintains "remembered sets" to keep track of these relations. A Haskell could in principle be implemented in the way described (and execute in surprising complexity classes), but this does not seem to match reality.

Should the wiki be modified?
