Goldbach computation network
This browser is assigned consecutive even integers and searches for a prime-pair witness for each. The coordinator independently validates every returned witness before advancing the contiguous frontier.

Local worker
CPU mode runs deterministic 64-bit primality checks in a dedicated Web Worker.
Idle. No browser computation is active.
Result acceptance
For each even integer n, the worker returns p and q. The server accepts it only when p + q = n and both terms pass deterministic Miller–Rabin testing for the 64-bit range. A client cannot advance the network state with an invalid witness.
Execution modes
CPU mode performs the entire search with BigInt. GPU / hybrid mode sends thousands of candidate pairs to a WebGPU shader, which rejects pairs divisible by small primes in parallel. Every survivor is then checked by the CPU with the full deterministic 64-bit test. This is a real GPU acceleration path, not a mathematical proof on the GPU; if WebGPU is unavailable it falls back to CPU and tells you.
Why begin after 4 × 1018?
This network starts immediately after 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 because that is the upper bound of the strongest peer-reviewed, exhaustive computational verification of the binary (strong) Goldbach conjecture: every even integer through that bound was confirmed to be a sum of two primes by Tomás Oliveira e Silva, Siegfried Herzog, and Silvio Pardi.
The authors’ verification project reports that its results were double-checked through 4 × 1017. Their published paper details a full final re-check through 3 × 1017, with targeted and sampled re-checks above that.
