GenomicDataStream runs analyses across multiple cores in parallel using Threading Building Blocks in oneTBB. This is available in R using RcppParallel. This package usually installs without an issue, but if it fails you can use the package after modifying the paths:

Install TBB using brew

brew install tbb

Install RcppParallel with TBB path

DIR = system("echo $(brew --prefix tbb)", intern=TRUE)
TBB_INC = paste(DIR, "include/", sep='/')
TBB_LIB = paste(DIR, "lib/", sep='/')

.Internal(Sys.setenv("TBB", DIR))
.Internal(Sys.setenv("TBB_INC", TBB_INC))
.Internal(Sys.setenv("TBB_LIB", TBB_LIB))

install.packages("RcppParallel")
