Advantage of Emulation
- Emulation allows software which is created for one of the platforms to be used on another, so that it can support cross compatibility with other platforms. It is especially useful to run legacy software on new computers.
- Emulation makes it easier for users to access software and hardware that may be rare, expensive, or difficult to obtain physically.
- By providing a platform for developers to test their software in several environments, Emulation makes it easier to develop and test the software. Emulators can be used for simulating various hardware configurations, operating systems and network conditions by developers.
- In teaching computer science concepts, software development techniques and historical computing systems, Emulation is valuable in education settings.
What is Emulation ?
Emulation is the process of copying the behavior of one computer system (or software) on another system, typically with different hardware or software. In this article, we will look into the Applications, Types, Advantages, and Disadvantages of Emulation.
