Comparing with the traditional planar structure,3D NoC are capable of achieving better performance and packaging density.This paper advanced a new style of NoC structure called star cluster NoC based on three dimensions Mesh(3D SCBM-NoC),which could reduce the number of router nodes,and saved the cost of communication.By analyzing the topology of the 3D SCBM-NoC,this paper presented the communication energy model of star-cluster structure,and achieved the mapping of NoC using the sequence method and ant arithmetic.When the number of processor nodes is 16,comparing with 3D Mesh-NoC and 2D Mesh-NoC,the communication energy of 3D SCBM-NoC is the lowest.
