SDM is still available if you want it, and the others I'm aware of are
on <http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/tools.html>, apart from one funded with my
taxes which I could never get hold of.  (They could do with assessing
and comparing, if someone would like to contribute.  It would also be
interesting to know how they compare with support in SLURM and OAR, for
instance.)

[I'd use freeipmi, or powerman to be more general.]

Do you mean it takes resource requests and their reservation into
account properly?

I doubt this job can be done well without support in SGE itself
(e.g. scheduling as if "zombie" nodes were available).

Note that power cycling may hurt reliability (see previous discussion
here).  Running with the Linux "ondemand" frequency governor
significantly reduces consumption of idle nodes without significant
problems we've seen.  If necessary (latency effects?) you could flip
between performance and ondemand in the usual SGE hooks.
