emulation

One system is said to emulate another when it performs in

exactly the same way, though perhaps not at the same speed. A

typical example would be emulation of one computer by (a

program running on) another. You might use an emulation as a

replacement for a system whereas you would use a simulation if

you just wanted to analyse it and make predictions about it.
