Emulation \Em`u*la"tion\, n. [L. aemulatio: cf. F.
   ['e]mulation.]
   1. The endeavor to equal or to excel another in qualities or
      actions; an assiduous striving to equal or excel another;
      rivalry.

            A noble emulation heats your breast.  --Dryden.

   2. Jea?ous rivalry; envy; envious contention.

            Such factious emulations shall arise. --Shak.

   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.

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.
