Cloud computing is an effective technology to perform huge-scale and complex computing. Achieving a minimum makespan is the prime motto of any task scheduling algorithm for a cloud computing environment. This paper aims to propose a new task scheduling algorithm named as Min-sufferage scheduling. While selecting a task for execution, the Min-sufferage picks up the task with minimum Sufferage value. The proposed method has been tested on numerous set of tasks and resources. The experimental results indicate that the proposed Min-sufferage algorithm results in less makespan as compared to Sufferage algorithm.
