+Chrome Trace Viewer Visualization
+---------------------------------
+
+We can also generate a trace which can be loaded by the Chrome Trace Viewer
+from the same generated trace:
+
+::
+
+  $ llvm-xray convert -symbolize -instr_map=./bin/llc \
+    -output_format=trace_event xray-log.llc.5rqxkU \
+      | gzip > llc-trace.txt.gz
+
+From a Chrome browser, navigating to ``chrome:///tracing`` allows us to load
+the ``sample-trace.txt.gz`` file to visualize the execution trace.
