libcudart.so

The usual name of the shared library that implements the CUDA Runtime API on Linux.

libcudart.so is the typical name of the binary shared object file that implements the CUDA Runtime API on Linux.

Deployed CUDA binaries often link it statically. Libraries and frameworks built on the CUDA Toolkit, like PyTorch, typically load it dynamically.
