From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Emulation \Em`u*la"tion\, n. [L. aemulatio: cf. F.       [82]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. [bd]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.[b8] --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.          (2003-05-22)
