This isn't valid bibtex for three reasons:
It's missing a key, a type, and the double-quotes around "HPC" are a
syntax error.
In bibtex you can enclose the fields in braces or double-quotes. I
prefer braces, because then you don't need to worry about
latex-escaping double-quotes inside the fields. (And many consumers of
bibtex will still choke on even properly escaped double-quotes).
For the missing elements, we should decide whether or not it's a
SHOULD (so X2C needs a reasonable default) or a MUST, where I need to
find a way to get that data in there.
I think key/id and type (not format) are both SHOULDs.
Here I forgot to mention what the reasonable defaults for BibTeX should be.
In case of a missing type, 'misc' is appropriate. Any contiguous
sequence of letters is fine syntatically for a bibtex type, but spaces
are bad, for example "@Journal Article{foo, ...}" is invalid.
In case of a missing key/uid - using something unique to the page is fine.
Doing something unique and meaningful is better, like Author1YearTitle
(e.g. "Suda06Microformats"), like this:
@misc{suda06Microformats, author = {Suda, Brian}, Title ="Microformats"}
