Dear Danila,

the domains which are reserved for the moving window are fully part of 
the simulation and contains fields and particles.
The most plugins currently not take care that only n-1 gpus 
(VirtualWindow) are analyzed in y direction. There is an open issue [1] 
for that.
The hdf5 and adios output take care of the reduction in y direction and 
dumps out only the areas inside VirtualWindow.

best regards,

René
