RockStar Web Profiler Server:

    RockStar Web Profiler(codename "Razor") Server acts as an HTTP proxy server during profiling. It requires:
  • J2EE Servlet Engine. Razor Profiler must be installed as the "ROOT" application of the servlet engine. By default, RockStar Web Profiler is bundled with a Jetty instance.
  • JRE 1.5 or above

Browser Requirements:

  • RockStar Web Profiler Probe:
    Probe is a small Javascript file that RockStar Web Profiler server automatically injects into web pages for evaluating client side performance. This JavaScript file works with any browser. The following browsers have been tested so far:
    • FireFox 1.x, 2.x, 3.x
    • Internet Explorer 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
    • Safari 3.x
    • Google Chrome
  • RockStar Web Profiler Console:
    Razor Console is a web application for analyzing data collected by Profiler Probe and Razor Server. It runs on all popular browsers. However, given the large amount of data and for best performance, we highly recommend you run RockStar Web Profiler Console from Google Chrome or FireFox

Hardware Requirements:

Given that Razor acquires and processes a large amount of data (application runtime profiling can easily generate megabytes of data) in the browser, we recommend the following client hardware requirements:

  • Minimum 1GB memory
  • Minimum 1GHz CPU
Your application will perform slower than usual during profiling. This is normal because Razor is doing a lot of processing at your application run time.
