  A system for performing memory allocation for seamless media content presentation includes a computing platform having a CPU, a GPU having a GPU memory, and a main memory storing a memory allocation software code. The CPU executes the memory allocation software code to transfer a first dataset of media content to the GPU memory, seamlessly present the media content to a system user, register a location of the system user during the seamless presentation of the media content, and register a timecode status of the media content at the location. The CPU further executes the memory allocation software code to identify a second dataset of the media content based on the location and the timecode status, transfer a first differential dataset to the GPU memory, continue to seamlessly present the media content to the system user, and transfer a second differential dataset out of the GPU memory.
