That's implementation-dependent.  See for example here:

Thanks Edi. Do you have some experience with it, like running a huge
amount of them?

What I believe you're asking about is called an "engine" in Scheme.
An explanation and simple examples can be found here:http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/languages/scheme/tutorial-dsitaram/t-y-scheme-...

However, in Scheme, the simple implementation relies on general
continuations.
What about delimited ones?
 Offhand, I can think of a few complicated ways to
express the functionality in CL ... but not a simple way.
Give me whatever you have on your, starting from scratch is the
hardest.
