Emulation
Overview
An emulator is a virtual machine. It allows you to model the use of another computer, without actually having to have the required architecture.
Emulation allows you to, among other things, gain the benefits of debugging code natively, without actually having to. You can snapshot areas of memory, pause the machine, extract data and pass it out to your real operating system and file system, and more.
