Over past decades, hardware emulation has been steadily evolved and becomes easier to install and operate. A simulator tries to model the behavior of a SoC or system-level design while an emulator creates an actual implementation of the design. This article from Mentor Graphics describes why these EDA tools, are the key ingredients in the IC verification strategy.
