+# Erdos-Straus Solution Counter
+
+GPU kernel for counting solutions \\(f(p)\\) to the Erdos-Straus equation:
+
+$$\frac{4}{p} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}$$
+
+for each prime \\(p\\), where \\(x \leq y \leq z\\).
+
+The [Erdos-Straus conjecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Straus_conjecture) (1948) asserts that \\(f(p) \geq 1\\) for all primes \\(p \geq 2\\). This kernel computes the exact count of ordered solutions for every prime in a batch.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+# /// script
+# dependencies = ["torch", "kernels"]
+# ///
+import torch
+from kernels import get_kernel
+
+erdos_straus = get_kernel("cahlen/erdos-straus-cuda")
+
+# Count solutions for a batch of primes
+primes = torch.tensor([2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 97, 9973], dtype=torch.int64, device="cuda")
+counts = erdos_straus.count(primes)
+print(dict(zip(primes.tolist(), counts.tolist())))
+# {2: 1, 3: 3, 5: 2, 7: 5, 11: 8, 13: 12, 97: 251, 9973: 62624}
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `erdos_straus.count(primes: Tensor) -> Tensor`
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `primes` | `Tensor[int64]` (1-D, CUDA) | Batch of primes to count solutions for |
+| **Returns** | `Tensor[int32]` (1-D, CUDA) | Solution count \\(f(p)\\) for each prime |
+
+## Algorithm
+
+For each prime \\(p\\), the kernel enumerates all valid \\((x, y, z)\\) triples:
+
+1. Iterate \\(x\\) from \\(\lceil p/4 \rceil + 1\\) to \\(\lfloor 3p/4 \rfloor\\)
+2. Compute the remainder fraction \\(\frac{4x - p}{px}\\) and iterate \\(y\\) in the valid range
+3. Check if \\(z = \frac{px \cdot y}{(4x-p)y - px}\\) is a positive integer with \\(z \geq y\\)
+
+Each thread handles one prime. Throughput scales linearly with GPU cores.
+
+## Results
+
+Verified on 8x NVIDIA B200 GPUs at [bigcompute.science](https://bigcompute.science):
+
+- **10^8**: 5.76M primes, conjecture holds (all \\(f(p) \geq 1\\))
+- **10^9**: 50.8M primes, in progress
