Description

As part of cuDNN 9.0, the old imperative API has been deprecated, while moving towards a new, graph-based declarative API. That means that our wrappers will have to be rewritten. As I'm not familiar with machine learning / NNlib.jl (which I guess these wrappers would need to be compatible with), I'm hoping that people from the ML community could be able to help with this.
