do you mean there is no OpenGL call to launch the compute shader or is
the texture simply unchanged?

This looks suspect. I haven't used compute shaders (through OpenSG or
otherwise), but normally texture uniforms are set to the texture unit
the texture is bound to, not the OpenGL id.
Shouldn't bottom_tex be added to MFTextureImages of computeAlgorithm
(this makes sure the texture is activated before executing the shader)?
The id returned by getGLId() is _not_ an OpenGL object name, it is
simply an id OpenSG uses to access the actual OpenGL object on different
contexts. You can use that id together with a context (i.e. OSG::Window)
to get the "real" OpenGL object name (Window::getGLObjectId()).

The rest looks ok to me, I would double check the texture setup first.
