emulation
<architecture> 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.
