==================================

LCG deployment:
---------------

- Total number of Sites (*): 251

- Software -> Num. Sites (*):
   gLite-3_1_0  -> 121
   gLite-3_0_2  -> 104
   gLite-3_0_0  ->   3
   LCG-2_7_0    ->   4
   unknown      ->  19

- Status -> Num. Sites (*):
   ok       -> 164

- Average of concurrently running jobs during this week (+): ~18k

(*) Sites that are Certified _and_ Production _and_ Monitored
    by SAM:
     		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:
    http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/SAM_Metrics_calculation

    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
    counted as 'unknown'.

(+) Job statistics taken from GStat: 
    http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gstat/
    
http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gstat/total/GIISQuery_Usage_cpu_.html

    For the time being we do not report CPU numbers:
    1. Not all the reported CPUs are actually available for
       grid jobs.
    2. Sites with multiple CEs may have their CPUs double-counted.
    3. GStat includes sites that are not considered by the SFTs.
