Fixes #2076.

Description

MONAI 1.6.1 hardened the use of downloading and extraction functions to use sha256 by default. This can be made compatible with old usage of these functions by explicitly adding "md5" as the hash_type to use this algorithm instead. In the future these should be changed to use sha256, this is lower priority since all the usage here relates to data downloading.

Checks

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Dataset downloads across tutorials and workflows now explicitly use MD5 checksum verification.
    • Training, inference, and preprocessing examples now automatically use available CUDA hardware or fall back to CPU when no GPU is detected.
    • CUDA-specific operations now avoid running when CUDA is unavailable.
  • Documentation

    • Updated notebook download steps and execution states for improved reproducibility.
    • The Deep Atlas tutorial is now included in the standard notebook execution workflow.

Gate AMP on the selected device. PyTorch 2.6 warns and disables CUDA autocast and torch.GradScaler("cuda") when CUDA is unavailable. The CPU path can still execute, but it emits unnecessary warnings and does not use AMP. Set amp_enabled = device.type == "cuda" in both AMP setup cells and pass it to torch.GradScaler.

Gate CUDA AMP on the selected device. When CUDA is unavailable, device becomes CPU, but the notebook still creates torch.GradScaler("cuda") and enters torch.autocast("cuda") during training and validation. PyTorch warns and disables AMP instead of raising an error. Enable the scaler and both autocast paths only when device.type == "cuda".

Confirming this thread is still open at the current head, and adding some scope to it.

The same ungated AMP pattern appears in 3d_registration/learn2reg_nlst_paired_lung_ct.ipynb, pathology/hovernet/hovernet_torch.ipynb, generation/2d_super_resolution/2d_sd_super_resolution_lightning.ipynb and hugging_face/hugging_face_pipeline_for_monai.ipynb.

Checked against torch 2.5.1: torch.GradScaler("cuda") and torch.autocast("cuda") only warn and disable themselves when CUDA is absent, so this does not block execution:

UserWarning: torch.cuda.amp.GradScaler is enabled, but CUDA is not available.  Disabling.
UserWarning: User provided device_type of 'cuda', but CUDA is not available. Disabling

So it is not a correctness problem. It does matter for the AMP comparison notebooks specifically, where silently disabling AMP removes the behaviour the notebook exists to demonstrate — the timing comparison still runs and still produces numbers, but they no longer mean what the narrative says they mean.

Suggested change: derive amp_enabled = device.type == "cuda" where AMP is set up and pass it to the scaler and the autocast contexts.

The CPU fallback here is undone further down the notebook. The cells at lines 474-475 and 554-555 still call torch.cuda.get_device_name(0) and torch.cuda.memory_summary(0, abbreviated=True) unconditionally. On a CPU-only host these raise rather than degrade — checked against torch 2.5.1:

torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)                  -> RuntimeError: Found no NVIDIA driver on your system
torch.cuda.memory_summary(0, abbreviated=True) -> KeyError: 'allocated_bytes.all.current'

This notebook is not in the skip_run_papermill list in runner.sh, so the premerge notebook job executes it on CPU-only runners. With the device line fixed but these cells unguarded, the run gets further and then aborts here instead, which is harder to diagnose than the original failure.

Suggested change: gate the two reporting cells on the resolved device, for example run them only when device.type == "cuda", or drop them from the CPU path.

I've added a warning at the top of the notebook about using CPU with AMP, the notebook still runs without CUDA so I'd rather leave it runnable like that. I don't think the warnings PyTorch produces when using CPU and AMP are a problem.

Same pattern as automatic_mixed_precision: the device now falls back to CPU, but the cell at lines 420-421 still calls torch.cuda.get_device_name(0) and torch.cuda.memory_summary(0, abbreviated=True), which raise on a CPU-only host rather than degrading gracefully.

This notebook also runs under the premerge notebook job — it is not in skip_run_papermill — so it will still fail there, just later in the run than before.

Suggested change: gate that reporting cell on device.type == "cuda".

This notebook keeps hardcoded CUDA calls elsewhere, so the fallback on its own cannot make it CPU-runnable. Lines 1427 and 2141 still call seg_net(test_input.unsqueeze(0).cuda()), and there are several torch.cuda.empty_cache() calls. A .cuda() call raises RuntimeError "Found no NVIDIA driver on your system" when no GPU is present (checked against torch 2.5.1).

The notebook is currently exempted in runner.sh with the comment "requires GPU; device hardcoded to cuda:0". This change makes that justification inaccurate while the exemption itself is still needed, which is the kind of stale comment that later invites someone to remove the skip.

Separately, and more directly in scope for this PR: line 304 of this notebook still calls monai.apps.utils.download_and_extract(resource, compressed_file, data_dir, md5) with no hash_type, so it retains the exact failure mode from issue 2076.

Suggested change: either finish the conversion — replace the remaining .cuda() calls with .to(device), add hash_type="md5" at line 304, and update the runner.sh comment — or leave the device line as it was so the file is not left half-converted.

Follow-up to the CPU-fallback work in this PR: this file still calls download_and_extract with a 32-character MD5 and no hash_type, at line 182:

download_and_extract(
    url, filepath="./rxrx1_subset_monai.zip", output_dir=".", hash_val="5eea02f6b0a6d8cbce6ad66949257438"
)

It is in keyword form, which is presumably why a positional sweep missed it. On MONAI 1.6.1 and later this raises HashCheckError, the same failure reported in issue 2076.

Suggested change: add hash_type="md5" to that call.

Thanks for this @ericspod — the hash_type sweep is the right fix for #2076 and covers the large majority of call sites. I have left detailed notes inline; summarising the cross-cutting parts here.

The premerge notebook job is currently red, and the failure is a case the device sweep does not cover. In 3d_segmentation/spleen_segmentation_3d_lightning.ipynb the device line now falls back to CPU, but the Lightning trainer a few cells later is still constructed with devices=[0]:

Exception encountered at "In [6]":
TypeError: `devices` selected with `CPUAccelerator` should be an int > 0.

A device list of [0] means "GPU index 0" and is rejected outright by CPUAccelerator, so the fallback does not reach it. unetr_btcv_segmentation_3d_lightning.ipynb has the same devices=[0] construction. Other Lightning notebooks in the repo already use devices=1, which works on both accelerators, so aligning on that form looks like the smallest fix.

Two call sites still rely on the default hash_type while passing a 32-character MD5, both in files this PR already edits: deep_atlas/deep_atlas_tutorial.ipynb line 304 and microscopy/multichannel_microscopy_classification.ipynb line 182 (keyword form, which a positional sweep would miss). Outside this PR there is also computer_assisted_intervention/video_seg.ipynb lines 156-157; that notebook is papermill-skipped, so a follow-up seems reasonable. For what it is worth I enumerated every download_and_extract, download_url and extractall call in the repository and filtered to those carrying a 32-hex literal or an md5-named argument without hash_type — 45 sites, 42 of which this PR fixes.

Two notebooks that gained a CPU fallback still make unguarded CUDA-only calls that raise rather than degrade — torch.cuda.get_device_name(0) and torch.cuda.memory_summary(0) in automatic_mixed_precision and transform_speed, neither of which is papermill-skipped. Details inline.

On the description: it covers the hash_type change only, while the second commit also rewrites device selection across 32 notebooks. That half is the larger and riskier part of the diff and is what the notebook job actually exercises, so it would help to name it. Minor consistency note — the new checks use torch.cuda.device_count() > 0, whereas the repository already has roughly 181 uses of torch.cuda.is_available() against 36 of the new form. They are equivalent in practice, but tutorials get copied, so the established idiom may be the better default.

Requesting changes mainly on the red notebook job and the two remaining default-hash_type calls; the rest is straightforward.

Hi @garciadias thanks for the review, I think I've addressed everythin you raised now. I have added date to the action runner to keep track of how long things are taking, I think the run got stuck on the brats 3D notebook.
