real-time simulation

Instantaneous system mimicry

Real-time simulation is a computer model that runs at the same pace as the actual system it represents—one simulated second equals one real second.

Flight simulators and video games depend on real-time simulation, where delays between input and response would break the experience.

This contrasts with simulations that run faster or slower than reality for analysis or prediction.
