Described herein are apparatus, system, and method for providing clock signal on demand. The method comprises determining an indication of clock signal usage in multiple hardware logic units; generating an enable signal according to the indication; and gating or un-gating the clock signal for clock islands of at least a hardware logic unit, of the multiple hardware logic units, in response to a logic level of the enable signal, wherein the clock islands are part of a global clock distribution network and are operable to be enabled or disabled independently.
