How do I implement different task scheduling algorithms in Linux

Question

A few colleagues and I are currently sharing a server to run simulations. We were hoping to implement a priority-based scheduling algorithm on the server so that more pressing jobs are run first.

The server is running Ubuntu 18.04 and if I am not mistaken it is currently running the default CFS.

I haven't attempted to install anything or play around with the current scheduler. I'd rather not make any dramatic mistakes and mess it up.

Any assistance or resources that could help implement a process scheduling solution would be greatly appreciated.
