I haven't seen servers with per-component power sensors but Penguin
Computing (the company I work for) just introduced the Relion 700
"efficient compute node" for HPC clusters and it includes sensors in
the power supply that report power used by the platform as a whole. We
would be happy to quote you or your colleages on a turn-key cluster
pre-wired and ready to run HPC applications.
The sensor readings are available via IPMI and we recommend ipmitool
as a way to read those values. But there were just recent posts
describing the ipmisensors and bmcsensors modules that will translate
ipmi sensor readings into lm-sensors framework.
There are also PDU's available that have per-outlet power monitoring
that will tell you how much power is being drawn by the attached
equipment.

Some colleagues of mine are doing some experiments where they would
like to monitor power and current of different system components in
real time while running various HPC workloads. They're willing to buy
whatever kind of motherboards they need that provide the sensors they
need. They're aware that, for instance, Apple computers provide all
these sensors, but buying a cluster of MacBook Pros would be too
expensive.
Can anyone recommend a motherboard with these sensors that are
supported by lm_sensors?
Thanks!
