+An End-to-End Example
+------------------------------------
+To demonstrate the use of Flight Recorder, we will use a small program where we induce mismatched collectives.
+In this example, ``rank0`` is programmed to do an additional collective.
+The Flight Recorder dump files are saved to the ``/tmp`` directory.
+For demonstration purposes, we named this program ``crash.py``.
+
+.. note::
+   Please note that this is a simplified example. In real-world scenarios, the process would involve more
+   complexities.
+
+.. code:: python
+  :caption: A crashing example
+
+  import torch
+  import torch.distributed as dist
+  import os
+  from datetime import timedelta
+
+  local_rank = int(os.environ["LOCAL_RANK"])
+  world_size = int(os.environ["WORLD_SIZE"])
+  assert world_size <= 8, "world size must be less than or equal to 8"
+  os.environ["TORCH_NCCL_DEBUG_INFO_TEMP_FILE"] = "/tmp/trace_"
+  os.environ["TORCH_NCCL_DUMP_ON_TIMEOUT"] = "1"
+  os.environ["TORCH_NCCL_TRACE_BUFFER_SIZE"] = "2000"
+  device = torch.device(f"cuda:{local_rank}")
+  print(f"{local_rank=} {world_size=} master addr: {os.environ['MASTER_ADDR']} master port: {os.environ['MASTER_PORT']} {device=}")
+
+  # Initialize the process group with a small timeout so that jobs fail quickly
+  dist.init_process_group("nccl", world_size=world_size, rank=local_rank, timeout=timedelta(seconds=1))
+
+  a = torch.full((3, 4), float(local_rank), device=device)
+  # Write some collectives to populate Flight Recorder data
+  for i in range(2):
+    print(f"calling allreduce on {local_rank=}")
+    f = dist.all_reduce(a)
+
+  # rank0 is doing an additional collective
+  if local_rank == 0:
+    print("rank0 is doing an allreduce on tensor b, but other ranks forgot")
+    b = torch.full((4,5), float(local_rank), device=device)
+    f = dist.all_reduce(b)
+
+  for i in range(2):
+    print(f"calling allreduce on {local_rank=}")
+    f = dist.all_reduce(a)
+
+  torch.cuda.synchronize(device=device)
+  print(f"{local_rank=} exiting")
+
+
+To run this program, use ``torchrun``:
+
+
+.. code:: python
+
+  torchrun --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=2 crash.py
+
+You should see two files in the ``/tmp`` directory:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+  $ls /tmp/trace*
+  # Expected output
+  /tmp/trace_0 /tmp/trace_1
+
+Finally, to analyze these two files, we use the ``torchfrtrace`` command:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+  torchfrtrace --prefix "trace_" /tmp/
+
+The output from the trace command is meant to be human-readable. It includes information about the
+set of collectives that caused a failure.
+The output for the command above is shown below.
+We can clearly see that rank 1 did not join the "all_reduce" collective.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+  $torchfrtrace --prefix "trace_" /tmp/
+  Not all ranks joining collective 5 at entry 4
+  group info: 0:default_pg
+  collective: nccl:all_reduce
+  missing ranks: {1}
+  input sizes: [[3, 4]]
+  output sizes: [[3, 4]]
+  expected ranks: 2
+  collective state: scheduled
+  collective stack trace:

 Conclusion
 ----------
 In this tutorial, we have learned about a new PyTorch diagnostic tool called Flight Recorder.
