- Average of concurrently running jobs during this week (3): ~32k

(1) Sites that are Certified, in Production and that have been
    monitored by SAM during the last week under OPS credentials.
     SAM is available at: https://lcg-sam.cern.ch:8443/sam/sam.py
     To see this page one needs a grid certificate loaded in the browser.
     The calculation of the Site availability (Status) is described at:

https://cern.ch/twiki/pub/LCG/GridView/Gridview_Service_Availability_Computation.pdf

(2) Software version is coming from the 'CE-sft-softver' CE test.
     Sites not supporting SAM 'CE' service, or not having sent
     results for this particular test during the last week, are
     not counted.

(3) Job statistics taken from GStat:
