\noindent We introduce a parallel Wang--Landau method based on the replica-exchange framework for Monte Carlo simulations. To demonstrate its advantages and general applicability for simulations of complex systems, we apply it to \revision{different spin models including spin glasses, the Ising model and the Potts model, lattice protein adsorption, and the self-assembly process in amphiphilic solutions.} Without loss of accuracy, the method gives significant speed-up and potentially scales up to petaflop machines.
