+ * The function selects one of the algorithms mentioned above based on:
+ * - The size of the kernel
+ * - Number of input/output feature maps
+ * - Amount of memory needed
+ *
+ * Generally GEMM-based convolution is executed when neither Winograd nor FFT nor Direct convolution can be performed.
+ *
+ * FP32 Algorithm| Filter Size | Input/Output feature maps |
+ * --------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
+ * Winograd | 3x3 1x3 3x1 5x1 1x5 5x5(fast maths) 7x1 1x7 | Input channels is greater than 3 |
+ * FFT | Squared kernels and greater than 9x9 | Input feature maps > Output feature maps |
+ * DirectConv | 9x9 | |
+ * GEMM | Any size | |
+ *
+ * Winograd 5x5 requires fast maths enabled.
