The mesh is distributed to multiple devices by blocking along the z axis. If there are *n* devices and the z-dimension of the computational domain is *nz*, then each device is assigned *nz / n* two-dimensional planes. For example with two devices, the data block that has to be up to date ranges from *(0, 0, nz)* to *(mx, my, nz + 2 * NGHOST)*.

Instead, one should declare each component as a `ScalarField` and use them to construct a `VectorField` during the stencil processing stage.
