    This function returns the best algorithm to choose for the forward convolution

    Parameters
    ----------
    handle : cudnnHandle
        Handle to a previously created cuDNN context.
    srcDesc : cudnnTensorDescriptor
        Handle to a previously initialized tensor descriptor.
    wDesc : cudnnFilterDescriptor
        Handle to a previously initialized filter descriptor.
    convDesc : cudnnConvolutionDescriptor
        Previously initialized convolution descriptor.
    destDesc : cudnnTensorDescriptor
        Handle to a previously initialized tensor descriptor.
    preference : cudnnConvolutionFwdPreference
        Enumerant to express the preference criteria in terms of memory
        requirement and speed.
    memoryLimitInbytes: size_t
        The maximum amount of GPU memory the user is willing to use as a workspace
        when preference is CUDNN_CONVOLUTION_FWD_SPECIFY_WORKSPACE_LIMIT.

    Returns
    -------
    algo: cudnnConvolutionFwdAlgo
        Enumerant that specifies which convolution algorithm should be used to
        compute the results according to the specified preference.
