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

  • Avoid including large-size files in the PR.
  • Clean up long text outputs from code cells in the notebook.
  • For security purposes, please check the contents and remove any sensitive info such as user names and private key.
  • Ensure (1) hyperlinks and markdown anchors are working (2) use relative paths for tutorial repo files (3) put figure and graphs in the ./figure folder
  • Notebook runs automatically ./runner.sh -t <path to .ipynb file>

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.

Explanation

Issue #2076 targets one notebook. The pull request also changes many other notebooks, modules/engines/gan_training.py, profiling scripts, bundle documentation, runner.sh, device-selection logic, and notebook execution or kernel metadata. The device-selection changes and the runner.sh change have no demonstrated connection to #2076. These changes exceed the linked issue scope.

Resolution

Limit this pull request to the 3d_regression/densenet_training_array.ipynb fix and directly supporting tests or documentation. Move unrelated notebook, script, documentation, device-selection, and metadata changes to separate pull requests, or link coding requirements that justify them.

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.

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.

Some note books are taking extremely long runtimes when testing: brats_segmentation_3d, spleen_segmentation_3d_lightning which hit a recursion limit.

@ericspod I checked the current PR head. One of the five open threads still identifies an unchanged concern: BRATS CUDA AMP. The notebook selects CPU when CUDA is unavailable, but still uses torch.GradScaler("cuda") and torch.autocast("cuda"). As the reviewer clarified, PyTorch warns and disables CUDA AMP; this is not an execution-blocking error.

The other four open threads appear addressed in code: automatic mixed precision diagnostics, transform speed diagnostics, Deep Atlas, and microscopy MD5. Those threads remain open in GitHub.

There is also an unthreaded AMP nitpick in the CodeRabbit review summary: 3d_registration/learn2reg_nlst_paired_lung_ct.ipynb still sets amp_enabled = True with a CPU fallback. The reviewer also asked for the PR description to mention the device-selection changes; its authored description still discusses only MD5.

Hi @vikashg thanks for this. Be aware that the way I added the hash_type value differs from yours a lot so you might want to undo your changed before merging mine into your branch to avoid a large number of conflicts. There is also the issue of the notebook tests getting stuck, you may not see if if you don't modify as many notebooks as here but we need to track the issue with spleen_segmentation_3d_lightning.ipynb having a recursion error and brats_segmentation_3d.ipynb taking forever (downloading time it seems). If you could ensure these notebooks are tested by yourself locally we can be confident it's just a download time issue.
