Large strings of consecutive smooth integers

In this note we improve an algorithm from a recent paper by Bauer and Bennett for computing a function of Erdös that measures the minimal gap size $f(k)$ in the sequence of integers at least one of whose prime factors exceeds $k$. This allows us to compute values of $f(k)$ for larger $k$ and obtain new values of $f(k)$.
