The invention discloses a multi-core tensor processor of a neural network. The multi-core tensor processor comprises a main controller, a reconstruction controller and a plurality of data flow calculation engines, the main controller is used for providing a control and state interface of the neural network tensor processor for an external control unit, and providing first configuration informationand a first initial signal for the reconstruction controller; the reconstruction controller receives the first configuration information and the first starting signal, obtains a reconstruction instruction of an external memory after the first starting signal is valid, and analyzes the reconstruction instruction to generate multiple groups of second configuration information and second starting signals; and each data flow calculation engine respectively receives the corresponding second configuration information and the second initial signal, performs function configuration according to the second configuration inform
