  emulation
       
           When one system performs in exactly the same
          way as another, 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.

        [PJC]
  
              [Chivalry was] an ideal which, if never met with in
              real life, was acknowledged by all as the highest
              model for emulation.                  --Thomas
                                                    Bulfinch
                                                    (Mythology)
        [PJC]
  
     4. (Computers) the imitation of the actions of a computer
        system or component, especially a processor, by means of a
        computer program, with the goal of predicting the behavior
        and performance characteristics of that system without
        actually manufacturing it.
        [PJC]
  
              1996 marked the year that emulation became a
              mainstream design verification tool.  --Computer

     Syn: Competition; rivalry; contest; contention; strife. --
          Emulation, Competition, Rivalry. Competition is
          the struggle of two or more persons for the same object.
          Emulation is an ardent desire for superiority, arising
          from competition, but now implying, of necessity, any
          improper feeling. Rivalry is a personal contest, and,
          almost of course, has a selfish object and gives rise to
          envy. ``Competition and emulation have honor for their
          basis; rivalry is but a desire for selfish
          gratification. Competition and emulation animate to
          effort; rivalry usually produces hatred. Competition and
          emulation seek to merit success; rivalry is contented
          with obtaining it.'' --Crabb.
