Recently cloud computing technology has been implemented by many companies. This technology requires a really high reliability that closely related to hardware specification and management resource quality used. Adequate hardware would make resource allocation easier. On the other hand, resource allocation will be harder if the resources are limited. This is a common condition in a developing cloud service provider. In this paper, a load balancing algorithm to allocate resources in cloud

... ng environment that has limited resources has been proposed. This algorithm is developed by taking the advantages of the existing algorithms, Equally Spread Current Execution and Throttled. We merge those algorithm without losing the advantages and we try to eliminate the shortcoming of each algorithm. The result shows that this algorithm is able to give a significant improvement in the limited resources environment. In addition, the algorithm also able to compete with the other algorithm in the more adequate resource environment. Based on the consistent results, this algorithm is expected to be more adaptive in different resources environment. Index Terms-cloud computing, load balancing, throttled algorithm, equally spread current execution algorithm. I. PENDAHULUAN
