As so many have issues with "emulation" as it would be a bad thing. I instead call it "simulation" as that doesn't use the work "emulation" as people seems to take as a cpu running a code, taking data and interprets it as something else in runtime. which we all know is not what a fpga does.
however. you cannot say that it is a exact replica unless it is done exact 1:1 from the original data. so. that's why "Simulation" would be a pretty good word. it tries to simulate XXX while not doing it exact (as it would be impossible to do without the original data) and meanwhile no runtime code is running (emulator)
however. first and last post about this here from me.
